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.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1 inch in diameter, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. 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. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.
Growing requirements
Mature size: Up to 3 inches in diameter
Light: Partial to full sun or grow light equivalent
Soil: Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix
Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, fish food, or diluted foliar fertilizer such as Maxsea every 2-3 weeks
Humidity: 50-80% with adequate airflow
Water: While in its carnivorous phase, provide enough distilled water for the media to remain damp. Reduce watering and allow the media to dry out regularly once the succulent rosette begins to form.
Temperature: 55-85°F
Dormancy: Technically none, however carnivorous leaves are replaced by a smaller succulent rosette for part of the year

I am happy with the plants I received. I especially like the FedEx shipping to my door and don’t have to risk it to the heat in my mailbox.

Thanks for my first Pings! They arrived in beautiful condition. Here is one potted in my gritty mix of pumice, perlite, a bit of coco coir and little bits of orchid bark. I wish I had them when the room was filled with fungus gnats! I’m sure they’ll be back and I will definitely be buying more from Curious Plants!

Adorable little ping, came packaged well and is much larger than I was expecting to receive. It’s still in its succulent phase, but I cannot wait to see this baby Put out some carnivorous leaves soon!
