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.

My new little Pinguicula Florian showed up in perfect condition, and has already settled in and caught its first fungus gnat. I definitely plan to order more from this shop!

Super cute and dainty! I bought 5 different “pings” and I love how unique each one is. My “pirouette” caught a fungus gnat two days after I had placed my plants in their new home, which is incredible considering the information says that the “dew” will usually return to the plants after potting within 1-2 weeks. I ordered a package of potting media for each of my 5 pinguiculas, and they give you plenty! I ended up with enough to spare for touch ups or if I have a mishap and spill in the future.

Wow! All I can say! First I wanna say this isn’t a fake review I always get skeptical when reading reviews about if it’s a bot lol. But this thing looks unreal I thought it was fake! It’s definitely real and very tiny about the size of a dime maybe a bit bigger if that. But wow very amazing looking!
