Pinguicula moranensis f. orchidioides (not to be confused with P. orchidioides) is a Mexican Butterwort that produces striking thin-lobed flowers. The leaves develop a subtle pinkish hue under strong light. P. moranensis f. orchidioides prefers a loose well-draining substrate.
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

Soil: Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix
Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, fish food, or diluted foliar fertilizer such as Maxsea every 2-3 weeks

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 foward to its color when Ping comes out of its succulent stage.
