Pinguicula ‘Florian’ is a hybrid between P. debbertiana and P. esseriana. The butterwort was registered as a cultivar in 2004 and is named after the breeder’s oldest son. P. ‘Florian’ produces leaves that become an intense shade of red under strong light. This plant prefers a loose mineral-based substrate that drains easily.

Description

Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 0.5 inches 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: 1-2 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

Planting and adjustment instructions will be included with your shipment.

    I ordered 4 different pings and this Florian was by far the tiniest and cutest one. It had very tiny leaves and formed a very compact rosette. And to top it off it was that beautiful reddish pinkish color!

    They were all packaged very well. They came in condiment cups wrapped gently in damp paper towel with the lid taped on. They even put one of those plastic identifier stakes on the lid of each one.

    Overall I am very pleased and would be happy to order from them again!

    I have never ordered a plant online before, but I really wanted to get a butterwort for a while, so I went with Curious Plants because they had the best selection. My plant arrived promptly and it’s doing so well and looks so cute that I got another one for my mom for Mother’s day, after she remarked how cute it was and how she wanted one as well! Thank you, Curious Plants!

    Pinguicula Florian looked amazing the moment I took it out of the package. Exactly as it looks on the picture! And it’s already bringing out new leaves 👌
