Mexican Butterworts (Pinguicula) for Beginners

Discover the captivating world of carnivorous plants with our beginner-friendly Mexican Butterworts. These insect-eating plants feature smooth, sticky leaves that trap prey while their rosette-like shape and vibrant flowers add a decorative touch. Popular in the succulent community and orchid greenhouses, they thrive on a diet of fungus gnats and small flying insects. Additionally, they make excellent indoor houseplants and are perfect for terrariums mounted on rocks

Our Mexican Butterworts are at least 3 years old, measuring 2-4cm in summer, and available in two sizes. They typically die back to a succulent state during the colder months, showing only tiny leaves above the soil. Most will begin flowering at the end of winter and will grow new, larger carnivorous leaves in summer
