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

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.

So beautiful and cute, and so brightly red! My friends couldn’t believe that my newest ping came fresh out of the mailbox because of how plump and dewy it looked. Florian looked like he had been a part of my ping family all along! Perfect packaging and shipping speed, I’ve told all my friends to order from here!
