Is this still Utricularia Gibba? Used to be aquatic but is growing as a swirly terrestrial now

So I had this growing in a small desktop paludarium and thought it was U. Gibba this entire time as you can see in the photo when it was still growing in the water. I attached some to the bottom of a ping lava rock that was sitting in a water tray, so the bottom that was submerged would grow stringy with bladders but then I noticed as it started to climb the rock, it would grow smaller and smaller swirly "leaves" without bladders, making it not look at all like a Utricularia at all anymore.

Well I recently put the ping rock into a new container with fluval stratum and the portion that was above the water is still spreading and growing even weirder. I wonder if it will flower soon with the increased light it receives as it grows upward so I can confirm what it is.

Never imagined bunnies could look so menacing

I’ve seen Watership Down but these sandersonii bunnies are really giving off a stormtrooper vibe .
Usually they seem so ‘cheery’ .

Whats your favorite small pitcher nepenthes?

I've recently become the proud over of a N. tenuis and a N. glabrata, and I've become very enamored with them! I love a big pitcher but I think the little ones are underrated, and I want to find more to add to my collection!

What is your fave small size Nepenthes or Nep hybrid?

Dionaea Ghost. I'm growing several white variegated cultivars, none of them have colored up yet outdoors, but this one has year after year! That said the traps don't usually turn white until mid summer/fall.

Help With Sarracenia Purpurea and Pinguicula Weser Arizona Dormancy

I live in the Gilbert-Chandler area. I have a Sarracenia purpurea and Pinguicula Weser and I was wondering how to handle their dormancy and succulent phase respectively. I am currently growing them indoors at the moment since it is so hot outside, aside from the recent coolness due to the rainy weather. The Purpurea is under a grow light and the Pinguicula is in an east facing window sill. I am still watering them like normal.

Do they need a dormancy/succulent phase? I have seen some things that say its fine to not trigger the dormancy/succulent phase and some things that say it can stress them out so I am not sure whether it would be detrimental to not let it happen.

How do I ensure that they enter the dormancy/succulent phase? How do I know when they have entered it? And how do I care for them during it? I found some info on this when I Googled it, but I would feel better hearing it from people who have experience with it.
