Utricularia graminifolia

Utricularia graminifolia – A Lush, Carpet-Forming Carnivorous Aquarium Plant

Utricularia graminifolia is a unique, vibrant green carpeting plant that creates a dense, soft meadow-like effect in planted aquariums. Its delicate, grass-like leaves spread quickly, forming a thick, lush carpet that enhances the natural beauty of an aquascape.

Growth & Care Requirements

Utricularia graminifolia thrives in high-tech aquariums, requiring strong lighting, CO₂ injection, and soft, nutrient-rich substrate to establish a healthy carpet. While it can grow in low-tech setups, its growth is significantly slower, and it may not achieve the same density. This plant prefers acidic to neutral water conditions (pH 5.5 - 7.0) and benefits from gentle water flow, which helps distribute nutrients evenly.

Key Benefits

• Dense, Vibrant Green Carpet: Covers the substrate beautifully.
• Carnivorous Plant: Helps maintain microfauna balance in the tank.
• Ideal for High-Tech Aquascapes: Thrives with CO₂, strong light, and soft water.

For aquascapers looking for a stunning, low-growing carpet plant with a unique twist, Utricularia graminifolia is an excellent choice. Its soft, bright green foliage and natural spreading habit make it a top-tier plant for creating breathtaking aquascapes in high-tech setups.
