Hi Bani, for D. graomogolensis and D. fulva, typically indoors is best. A window that receives plenty of direct sun or under a grow light is ideal. We recommend keeping them in higher humidity initially as outlined in the instructions here to help with acclimation and then keeping them in moderate humidity after that. For more detailed growing info, you can also see the “Growing Requirements” section for each plant on the site too. This gives more specifics about watering, feeding, and any dormancy needs as well.

If moving, you would want to compare the conditions between what they are used to and what they would be arriving into. If they are significantly different, then some acclimation time could be beneficial in that instance as well. Hopefully this helps!

Hi Christian, sorry to hear the D. regia froze but glad the roots made it ok! The cold weather has probably induced dormancy in the plant so it may take until spring for it to start waking back up again once the temperatures begin to warm and day length increases. You could always try bringing it indoors and coax it awake sooner, butyou may find it will come back more robust if it has rested awhile. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for your order! For butterworts it usually takes around 1-2 weeks for plants in their carnivorous phase to get their dew back when transitioning into their recommended growing conditions. If the leaves feel sticky to the touch, they are ready for a meal!

Hi Ashleigh, thanks for your question! It looks like you are referring to the line “If the humidity drops too quickly after arrival, the plant’s roots may not be able to replace water lost through the leaves fast enough and the plant may start to wilt, blacken, or shrink in size.”. The blackening mentioned is regarding the leaf color changing rather than the roots themselves. The healthy roots of many sundews species are naturally black so that would not be a cause for concern. If you are noticing severe browning or blackening on the leaves though this would be an indication of stress and something to watch for! Hopefully this helps clarify :)

Thank you again!

Hi Irene! Yes, all of our Pinguicula ship bare root for the safety of the plant in transit and need to be potted on arrival. Pre-packaged soil mix can be added to the order when selecting the plant and we have a video in our care guides here on how to pot them: https://curiousplant.com/butterwort-care/. Hopefully this offers some useful tips for you but if you have any questions feel free to reach out, we’re happy to help! Thanks so much :)

I’m looking to purchase a pinguicula but looking up as much research before purchasing. I was wondering if the plant needed to be repotted once i receive it. If so should it be done before or after acclimation?

Thank youuuu
