Pruning

Utricularia multifida needs minimal pruning to maintain its shape and remove dead material. Ideally, this should be done in early spring to encourage healthy growth. Pruning at this time improves airflow, prevents fungal infections, and promotes vibrant blooms. Be sure to use clean, sharp tools to minimize any potential harm to the plant.
