Utricularia quelchii Geoff Wong Clone is a tepui bladderwort from the Guiana Highlands, known for its vivid magenta to purple flowers. This clone traces back to Geoff Wong, a name that carries real weight in the tepui plant world for tracking down clean, well documented material.
Like campbelliana, quelchii grows on wet, mossy rock walls in habitat. It traps prey underground with tiny bladder traps hidden in the moss around its roots, catching microscopic soil life rather than insects. Recreate that wet mossy surface at home and it will settle in well.
Quick Care Guide: Tepui Utricularia

Moisture: constantly wet, this species does not like to dry out even for a short stretch.
Light: bright indirect light. Tepui species tend to prefer cooler, brighter conditions over hot direct sun.
