Bite-size info:

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
