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 couldn’t be happier with my purchase and overall experience with Curious Plants. I’ve already referred them a couple of my friends. My plants arrived in tip top shape. They were very healthy and undamaged upon arrival. I will definitely be a repeat buyer.

Healthy and quite large upon arrival as you can see in the first photo. Looks great and curiousplants’ online information was very helpful in potting and acclimating this fella. 2nd photo is of it 2 weeks after arriving. It’s dewy and growing fast!
