Please note that many species of Mexican Butterworts experience a winter succulent phase in which they stop growing large carnivorous leaves and instead, grow small succulent leaves. If you order a plant from October - March, you may receive one that is winter succulent.
They usually begin to go into this phase as photo period decrease in winter and will stay in their succulent state until spring, when the photo periods lengthen again.
