Pinguicula cyclosecta is a Mexican Butterwort native to a small area between Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. When grown under intense light, P. cyclosecta is recognized by its beautiful purple leaves. Clone B tends to develop a deeper shade of purple on more of the leaf surface vs. clone A which develops color concentrated at the edges. Please note: Some plants may be greener on arrival but will turn more purple with time under intense light.

I’ve had these for about 2 weeks now. They are thriving very well under my grow lights.
I was skeptical about ordering plants online but they did not disappoint. I will be definitely be ordering more plants from here!
