my utricularia sandersonii is growing well. its not growing terribly fast but its started to put our the first new stems since i've gotten it. i wonder if something is wrong with the soil. i woul have thought it would have grown alot more than it has. it doesnt seem to want to colonise the soil i planted it in. its sending shoot up itstead of out. there may be too many nutrients. it is a standard potting mix. the acidity may also be too high. most people grow it in peat moss which is low in nutrients and very acidic. maybe i could just squeeze the juice from old coffee grounds on it to give it an acidity boost.
