RARE! TRIGGER PLANT: Stylidium Debile * Small clumps 🪴 Potted

Stylidium debile, commonly known as the Frail Trigger plant, is an herbaceous annual plant that grows as a ground cover (green rosettes) and produces pink flowers around 10 to 20 cm tall. It is endemic to coastal areas in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia

Experts still argue as to whether triggerplants qualify as full carnivorous plants, or whether they should be placed into the taxonomic category known as “protocarnivorous”. They have the ability to capture prey via sticky threads on their flower scapes, and they secrete the digestive enzyme protease. Part of the issue seems to be that triggerplants seem only to be carnivorous during their blooming season. The rest of the year, they’re about as carnivorous as a rose...  

Plant Care:

• Keep soil only moist to the touch, if practicing windowsill growing, water every third day, more if needed. S. debile is one of the most undemanding carnivorous (or protocarnivorous) plants you can keep
• It thrives in full sun and partial shade, although it keeps blooming all year if given full sun.  Plants may be repotted in potting soil with compost
• It can be left outdoors, in a windowsill pot, or kept in a well-lit terrarium. It doesn’t freak out and die if given a small bit of liquid fertilizer every month or so, and it’s relatively nonplussed as to water quality compared to most other carnivores
• It keeps growing under high humidity and dangerously low, during air quality alert days - any plants that die off are rapidly replaced by new offshoots from the roots
• If you're having trouble, try supplementing light with a desklamp until it thrives again

• Because Cultivo is a boutique-style store, most of our collector’s plants are one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” or limited seasonal releases. That means once they’re sold, they’re gone - so standard restock notifications aren’t practical here
• A few seasonal plants or variants of small-batch releases may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
