Pinguicula moranensis ‘A’ is a Mexican butterwort that can grow quite large with its summer rosette reaching 8 inches or more in diameter. The flowers are quite large as well. P. moranensis ‘A’ prefers a loose substrate. Please note: Some plants are more green on arrival but will turn pink with time under intense light. See size descriptions below.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. Small plants are about 1 inch in diameter and medium size plants are about 2 inches in diameter. 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

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

Everything is great. I guess the plant is OK l. Don’t know what stage it is in , dormant or not. But Everything seems good 👍. Thank you very much and have a great day.

Huge specimen in perfect condition, nothing I wouldn’t expect from Curious Plant. Another thing worth mentioning, I place an order on Monday afternoon and Thursday have delivered plants in perfect condition. There is a much larger organization out west that takes 14 days to get a delivery from. Hummm, how bout that?

Plant came green, hoping that with more direct sunlight it will turn that beautiful pink color. Overall health of the plant is amazing.
