Pinguicula moctezumae × colimensis

Pinguicula moctezumae × colimensis is a rare, large-growing carnivorous plant from the Mexican butterwort group, known for its elongated leaves and delicate pink flowers. Sourced from Best Carnivorous Plants (BCP) in the Czech Republic, this collector's hybrid has been fully acclimatised and is now thriving in South African growing conditions

Combining the elegant form of P. moctezumae with the colour and compact traits of P. colimensis, this hybrid is both eye-catching and vigorous. It's a standout choice for growers looking to expand their collection with something unique and high quality

Quick FAQ

Will it flower soon?
Yes, this plant is near-flowering size. With the right lighting and care, you can expect blooms in the next couple of months.

Can I grow it in a terrarium?
Absolutely. This hybrid thrives in closed, semi-closed or open terrariums with good airflow, moderate humidity and bright light

Is this plant suitable for beginners?
It’s best suited for growers with some experience, especially those familiar with Mexican butterworts or terrarium setups

Does it need special soil?
Yes. Mexican butterworts prefer a low-nutrient, airy mix. We recommend our Butterwort PROmix™ specially formulated for this group

Will the plant look different in winter?
Yes, like many Pinguicula it enters dormancy in winter and may appear smaller with non-carnivorous leaves. This is completely normal. See our plant care guide for more info

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.

• 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!
