It's a semi-aquatic carnivorous plant native of Southest Africa (Tanzania, Zambia, Madagascar). It's the only Genlisea found in Madagascar to date, and is very rare. The little aquatic preys are caught with very unusual traps in spiral grooves diving in water. This plant makes violet to mallow flowers, held by very long stalks. Easy to grow in a warm, humid and luminous environment.

Conseils spécifiques pour cette espèce
Température
From 20 to 40°C.
Eau
Only rain, demineralized or osmosed water. A mineralized (and especially calcareous) water may be lethal in the long term.
Keep wet all year long.
Engrais
No fertilizer. The plant gets enough nutrients with its traps.
Luminosité
Strong light all year long. Avoid direct sun.
Inside, artificial light can be very beneficial or even necessary.
Substrat
Genlisea needs a very loose soil so as to anchor the long grooves. To that purpose, use a mix of quartz sand and artificial light, with a small amount of the latter.
