Pinguicula x “Flower Fairy” BARE ROOT

This new hybrid of sp. Pachuca x colimensis has something ephemeral about it that we all instantly fell in love with! The small lime green rosettes are beautifully complimented by its profusion of huge lilac flowers. The way they arch on long scapes make us think of fairies flitting through flower beds.

THIS PLANT WILL NOT COME POTTED, YOU WILL NEED TO POT IT UPON ARRIVAL.  MEXICAN/TROPICAL PINGUICULA PREFER OUR SANDY PINGUICULA SOIL MIX.

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.

Care Instructions
Sun: Sunny windowsills or in a terrarium under four T5 bulbs, filtered sun outdoors in the tropics
Water: Sitting in at least two inches of distilled or purified water from Spring through Summer and in winter they should be allowed to dry out slightly during their winter succulent phase
Temperature: 50 degrees - 90 degrees
Dormancy: no true dormancy but does have a winter succulent phase during which the plant will produce small succulent leaves instead of flat sticky leaves
