Utricularia andongensis
A small terrestrial bladderwort from tropical Africa, in section Oligocista, that grows on wet bare rock and among mosses in grassland from about 240 to 1,800 m. Its habitat is open, sunny seepage that stays wet through the rainy season. In cultivation treat it like other tropical terrestrial Utricularia: bright light, warm temperatures and a constantly wet, fine, nutrient-poor medium.
Where it grows wild
A terrestrial or lithophytic plant of wet, bare rock surfaces and moss mats in grassland, typically where water seeps over rock during the rains. The tiny traps work in the saturated film of moss and fine grit.
Recorded from about 240 m to 1,800 m, from lowland rock outcrops up to upland grassland.
