Utricularia gibba
Entity overview
For discovery, Utricularia gibba keeps floating growth behavior separate from foreground/midground placement metadata.
Structured classification connects the profile with genus Utricularia, family Lentibulariaceae, order Lamiales, and major group Angiosperms.
For broader context and filtering, open the Aquarium Plant Library.
Care data interpretation
The care profile combines very easy difficulty, low light demand, and recommended CO2.
The plant profile allows for emersed growth.
Use with this data: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
For tank comparison, range values include temperature 18–30 °C, pH 5–8, KH 0–21 °dKH, and CO2 5–40 mg/L.
Useful next step: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Dosing context starts with nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Planning tool: Calculate nutrient dosing.
