Pinguicula rotundiflora was discovered in the late 70’s but wasn’t formally described until 1985 by Miloslav Studnička. These particular plants originated from the Aramberri area in Nuevo León. During dormancy, the rosette becomes small and compact compared to the swollen appearance of its carnivorous state. It prefers somewhat shaded conditions and loose substrate with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant in its carnivorous state about 0.75 inches across or a plant in its dormant state about 0.5 inches across. The plant will be 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 1.5 inches 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
