Butterwort Pinguicula
Not applicable with Auction Items
Light: Pinguicula grow best in moderately bright, indirect light from an east or west facing window. You can also use LED grow lights placed about 12 inches from the plant.
Water: Keep the soil damp but not waterlogged. Use low-mineral water (50 ppm or less) and avoid tap water, bottled water, spring water, and well water. You can place the pot in a tray or saucer and add up to ¼ inch of water to the saucer.
Soil: Pinguicula prefer alkaline soil mixes with good drainage, such as a "Ping Pot" with a rock blend and optional living moss. You can also use a mixture of two parts peat, one part silica sand, one part perlite, and one part vermiculite.
Temperature: Pinguicula prefer warm, humid conditions during the summer, and cooler, drier conditions during the winter. They tolerate cool temperatures but always protect from frost.
Humidity: Pinguicula needs moderate to high humidity, but can tolerate low humidity.
When shipping live animals, 24 shipping is required for almost all. Shipping may be adjusted by AO due to holidays, weather conditions, or customer confirmation to be available.
