As well as ordering Nepenthes Attenboroughii seeds(see Nepenthes section of forum-please answer that question, too), I have also ordered Utricularia Multifida(Polypompholyx-Pink Petticoat plant)seeds from www.Czplants.comDoes anybody have any germination and growing tips for me? I haven't recieved the seeds yet. I would just like to know in advance. |

I live in Ireland, so I am growing the Utricularia Multifida(Polypompholyx)seeds under completely artificial conditions, indoors. Does anyone know the humidity preferences for this plant?

Barry Rice has a section about Utricularia multifida in his faq: link. It might be difficult growing it since it's an annual, but good luck! |

Great link, but it doesn't exactly explain the humidity part. Does anybody know the the humidity needed for this plant? I think it would be low, because its native habitat is Western Australia.

It grows wet, sometimes even in water

Since it is an annual and likes it wet, could I add it to my carnivorous plant bog garden in Spring and Summer? I know that it also likes it hot(and Ireland is pretty cold), but it only lives a short time, anyway.

The growing season would be to short. It needs a higher temperature to germinate and a longer time at better temperatures to get good seed. Its also difficult to grow in Europe despite being a weed in the wild

So, will I grow it indoors?

Maybe, as I said it is difficult to get it to grow and produce good seeds for next season.
