Utricularia campbelliana is a tepui species, native to the wet rock walls and mossy cliffs of the Guiana Highlands. This particular clone comes from Wei Tepui, courtesy of Sergio G., which makes it a documented locality plant rather than a generic mix. It carries the beautiful red to orange flowers that make campbelliana one of the most sought after tepui bladderworts in cultivation.
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.
