This Pinguicula rotundiflora x gypsicola hybrid is another Curious Plant creation. The elongated leaves display a nice mix of both parents and develop a lovely pinkish tinge under strong light. The flowers are large and appear to resemble those of P. gypsicola more closely than those of P. rotundiflora, although the petals are wider and slightly more pink. P. rotundiflora x gypsicola prefers a loose mineral-based substrate that drains easily and forms a compact rosette when dormant.

*This plant ships bare root*

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.

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

    Plants were larger than expected. I ordered other pings from 2 other sites and these were by far the largest and healthiest! Will definitely be ordering from here again. Thanks
