This species is very easy to cultivate. I grow this utric in a 4 inch pot with live sphagnum moss and some orchid bark I believe. No tray is used. I treat it just like my Nepenthes, and it does just fine.
Congrats on getting U.amethystina to flower! This is one of my favorite species. Although very common and widespread in the wild, there are just so many different forms out there that I always enjoy seeing them. They can be purple, lilac, white, bluish, cream, or even bright yellow. Flower shapes and sizes are more variable than in any other Utric species and I believe it will possibly one day be dismembered into a few more species or varieties/ subspecies.
Any idea where your plants are from? In fact, the flower on your plant was not completely open yet in that picture was it? I can't see the typical yellow patch at the base of the lower lip. I almost thought it was U.resupinata!
