Dr. Lubomir Ademec from the Intstitute of Botany in Trebon, Czech Republic
(ademec@bulbn.cas.cz) offers U. ochroleuca and several other utricularia
species, mostly available as winter turions. He is also working with
aldrovanda cultivation and conservation. He has been very helpful to me
in providing cultivate information on this dificult aquatics CP. Sale of
turions and plants help support the conservation work and research at the
Institute.
My experience with indoor cultivation has been that most of these
utricularia do much better outdoors in the long run. Ones I've grown
outside I still have. Windows container must be watched for overheating.
Thus makes adequate lighting difficult. U. gibba and the australian
aldrovanda are the exception and can do ok under bright aquarium lighting.
