THE OPTIONS
Sizes
- Whether you prefer starting off with a younger plant and watching it grow over the years into full majestic glory or jumping in with more munch, right from the get go, we've got you covered! Cultivo is all about choices and our plants are available in various sizes and options to suit your every need
- These are medium to near-flowering size plants with very shallow roots and fragile leaves. For this reason they will be sent bareroot, packed and protected to minimise damage during transit. The size on offer refers to the maximum size your plant will reach during the upcoming growing season
Bareroot (not potted) with or without soil
- Due to it's fragile nature and shallow root system, mexican butterworts are best shipped bareroot (not potted) and will need a certain degree of acclimatisation after potting on your end. Plants and winter rosettes are cleaned, cut back, rinsed and sent in protective covering to minimise damage
- To prevent rot, pinguicula prefers a loose, open soil with a good balance between water retention and drainage. Select the relevant option or pick up some of our deluxe premixed growing media for mexican butterworts here before checking out
- On occasion, plants are available in potted form, however in most cases your plant will be sent bareroot with soil separately - This will be indicated in the listing
Currently available
- This guideline is provided as reference and is indicative of the current state or condition of the plant you will receive
- During winter dormancy, most mexican butterworts produce tight, dormant rosettes with tiny non-carnivorous leaves, making them appear very small overall. During this time they will be listed as "winter rosettes"
- If your are new to the carnivorous plant world >> Read our guideline on Temperate plants and winter dormancy: What to expect so there are no surprises when ordering mexican butterworts from us during the colder months

Frequently Asked Question
Why do you use Pargo instead of PUDO?
We partner with Pargo because it forms part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are stored indoors at local businesses, protected from heat, direct sunlight and the weather until collection. It's an excellent option if you're not home during the day or prefer collecting your parcel when it's convenient.
To protect every order and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we use only Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted to transport fragile and temperature-sensitive plants safely.
Disclaimer
- Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
- We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
- Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it’s the real deal
- Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know - we’re happy to help!
