Utricularia campbelliana Wei Tepui BCP Clone is a tepui species, native to the wet rock walls and mossy cliffs of the Guiana Highlands. This is a different clone from the Sergio G. plant I also offer, which makes it a great second clone if you already grow that one or want a shot at making seed. It carries the red to orange flowers that make campbelliana one of the most sought after tepui bladderworts in cultivation, and I only have one available.
This species grows on constantly wet, mossy rock faces in habitat, so recreating that wet mossy surface at home is the key to keeping it happy. It traps prey underground with tiny bladder traps hidden in the moss around its roots, catching microscopic soil life rather than insects.
