flycatchers Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi, Last winter my large Utricularia reniformis rotted away! I did rescue a few small bits of healthy stolons which I repotted. These started to sprout some new small leaves this summer. Now these have been eaten by a *%$$$! caterpillar! As hopefully it has sent out some new growth from below the soil what are the chances it might still survive? bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL7836 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Anything is obviously just a guess but once a rennie starts to get established it has those extra thick stolons to fall back on. I would think you should see some resprouting after a bit. Although, every large-form U.renifomis that I've grown has been more particular (& weird) with it's growth than the medium-sized forms...

flycatchers Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Glad to report four new leaves appearing! Now just need to keep the slugs & caterpillars off them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
