Marshtump Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi all! I wanted to grow utricularia reniformis for a long time but i don't know what substrate to use, should can I use 4 parts peat and 1 part perlite? Is it able to thrive in zone 9 conditions? how wet is too wet? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates666 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I grow mine in living Sphagnum standing in 50mm of water all summer in a greenhouse in the UK. It survives the winter, keeping it just damp, with no further protection in the greenhouse and we are a similar hardiness zone, if a little cooler. It is native to Brazil at all sorts of altitudes, so I would immagine in Italy you shouldn't have too many problems. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyr Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Mine is in just long fibered sphag moss. I keep the water level nearly to the top all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same conditions for me except I live in South of France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
