Utricularia graminifolia is of the bladderwort family and can make a nice foreground plant for the experienced hobbyists, C02 injection is of importance.
Soft water is also important, (Low KH/4 or less & GH/5 or less)

Lighting needs to be within the 2.5~3wpg range.
CO2 injection is a necessity, a mist of C02 is recommended.
Fertilization should be diligent, NPK, TE and Fe.

A very stunning plant when grown to its glory in the aquarium.

Propagation is easy for a healthy lawn/carpet, bi-monthly or monthly trimming will help in thickening and the spread of this beauty.

The bio-filtration also plays an important role in the overall success of growing this plant. filter needs to be large enough to produce good flow and house adequate media.

It is a member of the Lentibulariaceae specie.
