Pinguicula laueana "Tangerine" BARE ROOT
Damon made this laueana here at CalCarn by crossing our red flowered form of laueana with our fuchsia flowered form of laueana. You never know what you are going to get when you make a hybrid and this one knocked our socks off with tangerine colored flowers! It’s the closest thing to an orange-flowered ping we’ve seen so far! This might just be Damon's favorite laueana!
What we love about Pinguicula laueana "Tangerine":
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.
