Zlatokrt Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi, the title is quite apposite i think :-) I have this plant for about two years and most of the time, it has been kept in my tiny cooled box. Day temps around 22 °C, night decrease to 15 °C, led stripes as a lighting. The plant grows in a moss on epiweb. I hope you will like it as i do. Not yet opened, this pic was taken about two weeks ago: And these show the flower from today: And thats it... Good growing! Adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL7836 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Congratulations! Incredibly beautiful flower! Could you share your lighting parameters (day/nite photoperiod & any seasonal change) & maybe a pic of the plant on the epiweb? Mine has yet to be generous with me. 8^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S. Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi, congratulations to your first U. campbelliana flower!! How long did the flower stalk take to grow till the flower opened? My plant is also producting a flower stalk at the moment, so I would like to know how long it takes until I can see this beautiful red yewel...

Guest Andreas Eils Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Once more: Congratulations, Adam! It´s the most beautiful flower among bladderworts in my humble opinion. Alone the brilliant red colour is so mind-blowing. Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL7836 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Ron: the plants gets about 12,5 hours of light each day, all the year round. The overview pic is below. Could you share a little more detail on your media & watering? Is your pot just filled up with slabs of epiweb or is there other media mixed in? Is the moss you mention spagnum or other? How frequently do you water (I know epiweb holds almost nothing...)? Do you find the campbelliana stolons actually going deeper within the pot or do they just stay near the surface?

Zlatokrt Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi, i just placed a bended piece of epiweb and placed it inside an empty pot. The moss was at first some sphagnum, but that is not good, it overgrows the small leaves of U. campbelliana. Therefore i scraped some acrocarpous epiphytic moss from a tree in a wood nearby and placed it on the epiweb. I did not try to determine the moss species, so i do not know... it is small. I water daily or with one day delay (when i am too busy), spraying the moss by rain water. The stolong usually grow only thought the moss, but i found one very long stolon growing through the epiweb to the water on the bottom of the pot.

James O'Neill Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Very nice! I'd love to have this species, let alone get it to flower! How big is the flower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlatokrt Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 About 2 cm. And it is not that hard to get it to flower. Once you have good conditions for its growth, the flowers are just a matter of time. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James O'Neill Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 2cm is much smaller than I thought it would be. I thought it would be bigger than quelchii, which on my plant is 3.7cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlatokrt Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 James: I have measured the flower, it is 2,5 cm wide and cca 2 cm high. Mote than 4 cm would would be fantastic, but i cant imagine, how the plant would manage it. The biggest leaf is about 1 cm, probably a little less. U. campbelliana is a minute species...
