Pinguicula Agnata f. Red leaf (El lobo, Mexico) • Best Carnivorous Plants, CZ • Winter rosette

DESCRIPTION

• BCP ID# P269, P542, 2043, 2210
• Large variety mexican butterwort species with location data. Produces small white and purple flowers and rounded leaves with a tinge of red on the edges if grown in bright light
• Note that butterworts have very shallow roots and are generally sent bareroot, packed and protected to minimise damage - In this case we have 2 winter rosettes available in 5cm pots and will be sent as pictured

 PLANT CARE

• Grow butterworts in partial sun or very bright filtered light and keep the soil only damp to the touch, year round
• Great for beginners, mexican butterworts are easy to grow and fantastic candidates for a sunny windowsill or protected area outdoors with moderate to bright light
• To prevent rot, pinguicula prefers a loose, open soil with a good balance between water retention and drainage.  We use our Butterwort PROmix for all our mexican butterworts, with excellent results

Winter dormancy

• During the autumn and winter months, butterworts die back significantly to a tight rosette with tiny non-carnivorous leaves, making them appear much smaller than listed
• Larger growth (sizes as indicated) in the form of new summer leaves are expected during summer
