Utricularia endresii

In collectie Rchb.f. (1874)

Description

Medium sized epiphytic/lithophyte Utricularia species with long slender leaves and as the only Utricularia species needs a real rest period in which it can fall completely dry. Like other species within the Orchidioides, these also produce tubers to bridge periods of drought.

Distribution

Floristic provinces

Caribbean Central America
Andes Northern Andes

Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador

Habitat

Rainforests where the epiphytic grows on/in the moss layer.

Cultivation

Owned for a few years, propagated, but never got into bloom. In the dip of the year, the leaves yellow and then you have to let it dry completely for 2-3 months I learned. This is what I'm trying to do now, maybe photos of flowers in 3 months!

Flowering Period

After the rest period
