Pinguicula laueana is a tropical butterwort native to the Mixe Highlands of Oaxaca, Mexico. It was discovered by Alfred Lau in 1978 and is currently the only butterwort known to produce red flowers.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1 inch 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: 2-3 inches in diameter
Light: Partial to full sun or grow light equivalent
Soil: Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix, sand and perlite 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

My son started with venus flytraps last year and his traps just turned 1 year old last March. He asked for these plants for his birthday and, although they were smaller than expected, he was happy to recieve healthy looking plants. He was worried because we have ordered somewhere else before and the poor babies arrived here in Las Vegas soo stressed and eventually died. Hopefully they perk up some more ( esp the Laueana) in the coming days. Thank you, Curious Plant!
