Pinguicula martinezii is a butterwort native to Querétaro, Mexico. The leaves and flowers bear some resemblance to P. agnata, although the flowers are smaller with purple spots. Named after professor and botanist Maximino Martinez, P. martinezii was formally described as a species by Sergio Zamudio in 2005. Please note: Some plants are more green on arrival but will turn reddish with time under intense light.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1 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: Nearly 8 inches across in ideal conditions
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

I love the plants I get from this company. This is the third time I have ordered plants from here and they have all been packed with great care. I ordered a heat pack in this last order and they refunded me the heat pack, because they looked at the weather and determined that the plants would be best without it! My first order got delayed because of the shipping company. When I emailed the company, I didn’t get a generic email back, I got an actual person who cared and offered to replace any plants that didn’t make it. They made it well enough and are thriving now. I love that there are multiple different types/varieties of plants. They even have resources linked to help you grow the best plants possible. This company really cares!
