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.

It came larger than expected and also in bloom. The flower didn’t survive long but since I have a low humidity environment it’s not surprising. Beautiful healthy plant!

I’ve ordered plants several times now and they have all been very healthy. They give good instructions on what to do. All of my plants are thriving! Highly recommend this company for all of your Carnivorous Plant needs!

Okay, I don’t know where to start. This is my first purchase from Curious Plant. FedEx didn’t deliver the day it was supposed to, so I got worried. But I digress. What I received was the most beautiful ping I have ever seen. (Pinguicula agnata x gypsicola) Healthy, vibrant color, the way it was packaged. Everything was on point. Curious Plant is my go-to place for pings for now on. The presentation won me over. Now you have another customer. And I plan on buying more this week.
