Pinguicula x “Pink Panther” BARE ROOT

This new release for 2024 is an absurdly brightly colored moranensis x moranensis hybrid! When Damon was trying to make the most neon pink, vivid flowers he could, he used moranensis “Vera Cruz” to electrify the flowers in his hybrids! These plants have large, elongate, pink-flushed leaves and they die back into a tight winter succulent bud! These plants are about the size of a quarter now but can reach up to 3” across.

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.
