All plants in this family are insect-eating, perennial water and marsh plants. In nature, this plant lives in nutrient-poor places, which is why it catches and digests small insects. Bladder traps are the unique feature of the family, and Utricularia graminifolia forms them after a short period in the aquarium. The species name means \"with grass like leaves\". Given some time, the fresh green leaves knit together into a pretty mat. Although it is an ideal foreground plant, it is rather demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeground planting and carpeting in freshwater aquascapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHobbyists who want a lawn effect and can provide medium light and medium CO2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth form: carpeting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Asia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth rate: medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 3 - 10+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight demand: medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCO2: medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Tropica 049B Tissue Culture - Utricularia graminifolia (live aquatic aquarium plant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere in the aquarium should I use Utricularia graminifolia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is an ideal foreground plant.
