Pinguicula mirandae is a Mexican Butterwort native to the state of Oaxaca. It was formally described by Sergio Zamudio and Antonio Salinas in 1996. In the wild, P. mirandae can be found growing on the north face of rock walls along with bromeliads and agaves. In cultivation, the plants do well in a mineral-based substrate that drains easily. Please note: Plants may ship in either their carnivorous or succulent phase, see size information below.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. Plants in their carnivorous phase are about 1 inch across and plants in their succulent phase are roughly 0.5 inches across. 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.
