Pinguicula macrophylla x moranensis var. alba is one of our in-house Mexican butterwort hybrids. The plant forms spoon-shaped carnivorous leaves with an elongated petiole similar to the mother plant, P. macrophylla. It turns a lovely blush color with a purplish center in strong light. Please note: Plants may ship in either their carnivorous or succulent phase, see size information below.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. Plants in their carnivorous phase are about 1 inch across and plants in their succulent phase are around 0.25 inches across. Plants may ship in either their carnivorous or succulent phase. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive a little over one cup of our prepackaged Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix in addition to the bare root plant.
