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.

Arrived exactly as pictured (but in the “succulent phase” so no papillae on the leaves). Beautiful little plant, packaged perfectly, clearly very healthy. It has already started growing new leaves. Very happy with the plant, the speed of shipping, responsiveness of the owners, and overall quality of all items received from Curious Plant. Highly recommend!

This little guy is so CUTE! No damage, perfect roots. Maybe a LITTLE small for the price but other than that it is perfect. Hopefully with time shell produce her nectar and stuff but I have all the time in the world.

P. Florian arrived looking very much like the picture for it on this site, could not be happier with the service and quality of the plants here.

I got one of these beauties a few months ago and so happy I did. It’s growing great and is so pretty. Just put in an order for some more Pings, can’t wait to see them! If you want Pings, other carnivorous plants, or anything related to CPs, you have come to the right place. Thanks Curious Plant!
