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
Planting and adjustment instructions will be included with your shipment.

It came well packaged and in awesome condition. It’s my first ping so I’m still learning a lot. I believe it’s still in it’s succulent stage but I already see progress.* hopefully I’m doing everything right*

The Ping came exceptionally well wrapped and in very good shape. The nice size Ping perked up and is a happy camper. I am looking forward for the Ping to get its color like the picture
