Dear Magnum,
Your plant might be suffering from a fungal infection. I have seen similar problems with my U. longifolia, when I would keep them with the highland plants. I think the cooler temps were too low and weakened their immune systems. Now that I have them growing with the lowlanders the leaves are no longer dying off as soon as they finish growing.

I know very little about Utricularia's but my longifolia was started by seed on 7/20/13 and Its already in spike to bloom. I have mine under T5 lights and kept wet..

I have a few sections, and they are all doing well, soils range from 50/50 peat/sand, pure spag, 2/1 spag sand and 2spag/1 orchid bark, they get morning sun through 50% shade cloth from 8am-11am and then abit of arvo sun. I have one in pure spag growing as an emergent aquatic (1-2cm water over the soil) and its doing ok but makes narrow leaves, the peat/sandne and the spag/bark one are in a 15cm tall pot with a fluctuating 5-10cm water tray, with occasional flooding (a few hours 3-4cm under water once a month, but this is to control pests). temps range from 10C to 40C, averages being 20-32C. The peat/sand plant has the healthiest leaves (broadest) but the spag/bark plant spreads faster. If your worried take a leaf cutting, they are very responsive if you put a leaf in pure water or on milled spag
