Pinguicula are ok with all kinds of light levels. They also can run dry for a few days, but generally enjoy a tray with standing water. What they really don't like, is too much exposure to rain. They don't need fertilizer, heck I wouldn't be surprised if they are growing without soil or on toilet tissue.
They are good insect catchers, of course only small stuff like gnats, sometimes a moskito. Actually these plants are perfect for protecting other plants from insect pests. Another bonus are large flowers that are displayed almost year round.
Please be advised, that Pinguicula is delicate to be shipped. While we pack it with utmost care, please also unpack it with utmost care (slowly!). Still it often happens that some of the outer leaves get loose (we can't give you a warranty, how well it arrives!). You can place those just flat on moist soil and if you are lucky, you even get some additional baby plants.

P. mesophytica

OUT OF STOCK

While this plant is relatively close to P. moranensis it is an epiphyte from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, which should make it even more compatible with our climate in the Philippines, as normally Pinguicula appreciates some protection from overly wet conditions. We started with two tiny plants, but they are doing very well and gaining size rapidly.

A new Pinguicula with spectacular thin leaves - very different to the other ones on this page. It originates from Mexico, where it grows at altitudes from 900-1100m. Our mass propagation looks promising that we can release it in 2012.

This is one of the biggest butterworth on the planet. It is of Mexican origin and thus grows well in the Philippines, just during rainy season care needs to be taken that it doesn't stay too wet.

P. X Sethos

AVAILABLE NOW

This is the hybrid between P. ehlersiae and P. moranensis. It is very prolific, you might even want to try indoors near a bright window. It flowers more or less permanently, so even people who are not yet obsessed with carnivorous plants like it immediately. You might find this plant also under the name P. Weser, which only differs by the white spot in the flower, that is a white line for P. Weser.
