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.

Every plant was exactly as described, a good size, and in great health- shipped well. These plants are COMPLETELY bare root, meaning no soil- some places will have tiny placeholder soil but will ruin the plant in shipment. VERY glad that Curious Plant decides to go completely bare root, as these plants arrived in excellent condition.

So beautiful! This was my first purchase and they’re already catching fruit flies. I got a carnivorous plant soil and distilled water and I hope I can keep them alive

The package was warm so we were worried, but thankfully the plants look like they are in good condition. Thank you Curious Plant!
