Bareroot plants: What to expect
- Due to it's fragile nature and shallow root system, mexican butterworts are best shipped bareroot (without soil) and will need a certain degree of acclimatisation after potting or mounting 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. If needed, you can pick up some of our deluxe premixed growing media for mexican butterworts here before checking out
- 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"
