Pinguicula cyclosecta BARE ROOT
Pinguicula cyclosecta is probably one of the most beautiful of all the butterworts. It is a miniature species of flat rosettes which usually get no bigger than a 50 cent piece. When grown in strong light all of the leaves are actually purple! The metallic purple flowers are born on short scapes but it's pretty enough to grow just for the leaves! This plant is one of Damon's favorites and he recommends it to all ping obsessed growers!
These plants have a winter succulent phase in which they shed their carnivorous leaves and grow smaller succulent leaves. They greatly reduce in size, shrinking down to a tiny, cute little succulent rosette! If you order in winter, you plant will come in a tiny succulent rosette. But don’t worry, with proper conditions it will soon grow much larger carnivorous leaves and surprise you with its fantastically quick growth!
THIS PLANT WILL NOT COME POTTED, YOU WILL NEED TO POT IT UPON ARRIVAL. MEXICAN/TROPICAL PINGUICULA PREFER OUR SANDY PINGUICULA SOIL MIX.
