Pinguicula ‘Berry Bonbon’ is a Mexican butterwort hybrid of P. jaumavensis and P. cyclosecta. Between its lovely color and adorable size, we think the name fits perfectly! P. ‘Berry Bonbon’ was originally bred and named by friend and fellow grower, Tia Leigh of Just One Little Plant. Please note: Plants require strong light to develop and maintain color. Specimens may arrive in their succulent or carnivorous phase.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 0.5 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: About 1.5 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

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.

Dormancy: Technically none, however carnivorous leaves are replaced by a smaller succulent rosette for part of the year

I have not often received a Ping that looks as good as the sale pictures; the two Berry Bonbons I received were easily as nice as the pictures and exceeded my expectations in terms of size and health. I will definitely order again.
