About

Where it grows

Genlisea violaceae is native to certain regions of South America, including Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela. It thrives in wetland habitats. These plants are often found growing in acidic or sandy soils with a high water table, which provides them with the necessary moisture for survival.
