Pinguicula agnata (commonly known as a Butterwort) is a popular kitchen window plant because it traps fruit flies and gnats. To supplement poor environment nutrition, the leaves make sticky droplets that catch and digest bugs via a series of glandular structures. As a trapped insect struggles, it triggers more glands and becomes encased in the sticky droplets. Once digestion begins, the leaves absorb the nutrients through small holes, leaving only the bug’s exoskeleton on the leaf surface. See size information below.

The delivery and packing was flawless. This was my first carnivorous purchase and I was a bit nervous but the instructions and process of potting were pretty straightforward, especially if you get the Mexican Butterwort mix soil. It’s been a month since the potting and plant is doing great. It is already catching a lot of bugs even better than my Pinguicula moranensis ‘A’. It’s flowering too.
