Pinguicula ‘Pirouette’ is a complex hybrid of P. agnata and P. (moranensis x ehlersiae). The leaves can be anywhere from green to bright pink depending on light intensity. It is a vigorous grower and prefers a loose substrate. Please note: Some plants are more green on arrival but will turn pink with time under intense light.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1 inch 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: About 2 inch in diameter
Light: Partial to full sun or grow light equivalent
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
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.

I ordered 4 pings this Pirouette is one of the ones I was most excited about. I received one that wasn’t nearly as pink which is understandable as it is a living thing. It was also quite large already, approximately 2in. I’m excited to see it grow and hopefully I can get it to pink up with some good lighting.
They were all packaged very well. They came in condiment cups wrapped gently in damp paper towel with the lid taped on. They even put one of those plastic identifier stakes on the lid of each one.
Overall I am very pleased and would be happy to order from them again
