Now I know what you guys mean when you say that U.livida is invasive. It has alot of lolons coming out of the bottom of the pot, and it tried to overtake my nearby pot of U.subulata.
I keep mine in check by growing it in an undrained container. It keeps it out of my other pots. But you still have to watch out for (I can't think of the name right now but the one that has the bunny flowers) because it will grow on the outside of the pot and send stalons into other pots.
U. Sandersonii and yes i have noticed this. the runners come out of the pot and look like little spikes coming out. when i first saw them they looked like flower scapes!

almost all terrestrial Utrics will go out the bottom of the pot which is why i lost interest in keeping 30 species of terrestrials. sandersonii and one clone of aureomaculata will go over top and into the next pot. however these guys arent the real pain. those that actually produce viable seed are a bigger headache than anything.
IIRC bisquamata will produce seed as does calycifida. sandersonii and livida dont, atleast not many if they do. subulata is about the worst. most Utrics need a second clone in order to produce any amount of seed. those that dont can be a royal pain and you have to pull flower stalks before the seed ripens cause once the pods burst they are everywhere.
