It's an easy windowsill grower. In summer you may grow it outside in

I think it's available in Germany. I'll have a look.

The Utricularia you're asking for is U. humboldtii. It grows sometimes
terrestical and sometimes in the water stored by Brocchinea tatei,
another member of the genus Brocchinea. However we also found a
single specimen of U. humboldtii on Ilu Tepui growing in the pitchers of
Heliamphora ionasii. I do not know whether it was found growing in B.
reducta.
