V.J.Treasure Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hello all, My temperate aquatic Utricularia have been growing a lot while I was on holidays. Here a view over the setup: Utricularia minor growing in a reed and ina peat tank, you can see the difference in growth : A mix of U.bremii and another species: Utricularia intermedia: U.australis and U.vulgaris: U.ochroleuca and vulgaris: U.geminiscapa with outdoor U.gibba : U.reflexa (only growing outdoors in summer): And here my bestgrowing one: U.stygia The huge U.macrorhiza: And an overall view of the setup: I hope I haven't mixed anything up Greetings, Valentin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julio Alberto Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Nice setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-Rah Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yes, U. stygia is a monster when it does well! It has taken over a tank it was meant to be sharing with Aldrovanda here. They will need seperating next winter. Good setup. Is that sedge litter self-collected, or did you purchase it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacina Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I can´t believe that your parents allow to place all these tanks on their terrace It´s the home of your parents,isn´t it??? Mine would have NEVER allowed.A big thanks to yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Those are some happy utrics with a bit too many traps . Good job growing them. can´t believe that your parents allow to place all these tanks on their terrace :Shocked:It´s the home of your parents,isn´t it???Mine would have NEVER allowed.A big thanks to yours!

lilacina Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi Vash, Valentin is a germany guy and I know him a little bit.As far as I remember he´s a schoolboy (or has just finished school this year?),so that´s why I presumed he lives at home,together with his parents.Mustn´t be correct of course.That´s why I asked:It´s the home of your parents,isn´t it???

V.J.Treasure Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Thanks for the nice comments Is that sedge litter self-collected, or did you purchase it? It's unfortunetely no sedge litter but only reed litter which makes things a bit difficult sometimes, especially as you need large amounts compared to sedges. But yes, I have collected it around an artificial lake and the river Lech close to my home It´s the home of your parents,isn´t it??? Yes it is :) But it's not the terrace but the balcony which they rarely ever entered anyways so they allowed my slow expansion :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 @lilacina : You just sounded way too surprised that's all. Like he did something unachievable. I do understand your feelings about parents though. I used to be in the same situation after all BTW there's obviously no way I could have known that you knew him.
