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

My pirouette came in packaged nicely! Everything was in perfect condition and I’m glad that I also got their ping mix. It was the perfect amount for my planter while having a lil extra for future pings. This is my pirouette after a couple days of being home.
