Utricularia subulata, the Zigzag Bladderwort, is a perennial, terrestrial bladderwort with numerous, small bright yellow flowers. U. subulata prefers sandy peat that is constantly moist. It has subterranean stolons that form numerous small leaves (<1/2"). The tiny bladder traps form in the soil, and catch small critters, like nematodes. The wiry flower stalk bends at each node giving it a zigzag look. It flowers in early Spring, and can appear in mass, as a delightful yellow carpet. Some flowers stay closed. In winter it dies back to its subterranean stolons, to survive the cold. This yellow-flowered bladderwort is a vigorous grower and can be a harmless, pretty "weed" in your collection.  The Zigzag Bladderwort is the most widely spread of all Utricularia species.

Bad shipping

Plant wasn’t packaged correctly. When I opened the bag nothing was holding it secure and the plant and soil was just tossed/dumped everywhere inside the package. Still tried to plant it up since it is known as a weed but I’ll see if any of it can grow at this point
