Hello,
I recently got some Utricularia longifolia from adnedarn in a trade (he always sends great plants, btw). and now, about 2 months later, I SEE A FLOWER SCAPE ARISING!!!
It's about an inch long. I think I know what might have triggered it to flower.
1) adnedarn lives in hot, arid arizona. When he sent me the longifolia, it went through cold weather, and when it arrived, i immediately potted it up, but I grow it in cool conditions (60ºF.-70ºF., but this past week has been unusually warm. [70ºF.- 78ºF, and very dry {40%}])
2) This past week or two I've kept the medium sorta dry (letting the tray dry out for several days at a time, maybe 5 days at the longest, possibly more?)
3) I got a green thumb for utrics
4) it's been getting 5 hours of full sun sunce I got it, for a week or two it was overcast and cold
5) I got 2 inches of longifolia medium, and I potted it in a 4 inch pot, maybe it's flowering cause of the extra medium space
6) difference in soil medium?
7) Danget, I know I have something important here, but I forgot it with all of the noise here. I'll post it here when/IF I remember it.
I know, I know, it seems like I'm suggesting some odd things, but I'm keeping every possibility available. What do you think?
