✂️ Care

Plant small clumps spread out in a nutrient-rich substrate. Plenty of light and soft water (low KH) are important for a dense carpet to form — under less ideal conditions, the plant grows more loosely and less densely. CO₂ addition significantly speeds up carpeting.

💡 Planter's tip

You need patience during the initial phase: Utricularia Graminifolia can be slow to establish at first, but once accustomed, it grows quite quickly into a dense, green carpet.
