This Pinguicula agnata x gypsicola hybrid is our own cross. The mother plant is P. agnata ‘Red Leaf’ so the offspring develop a nice pinkish color under strong light. The leaves are wide like P. agnata but elongated like P. gypsicola. P. agnata x gypsicola prefers a loose mineral-based substrate that drains easily. Please note: Some plants are more green on arrival but will turn pink with time under intense light.

Recently ordered two beginner friendly carnivorous plants. They arrived in great condition and are adjusting to their new home. I reached out to curious plant with a question regarding their care which they promptly responded to. Very satisfied and will be back for more.
