Pinguicula ‘Sethos’ is a hybrid of P. ehlersiae and P. moranensis. It is similar to P. ‘Weser’ which is also a hybrid of P. ehlersiae and P. moranensis, the main difference being floral markings. P. ‘Sethos’ was registered as a cultivar in 1998. It is thought to have received its name after an Egyptian pharaoh. The leaves can be anywhere from green to bright pink depending on light intensity. It prefers a loose mineral-based substrate. Please note: Some plants are more green on arrival but will turn pink with time under intense light. See size descriptions below.

This is the prettiest shade of pink, just like the description. I absolutely love how it looks and it came so well packaged and larger than I expected. I am very happy with this beautiful plant! It is unfurling a new leaf and I have only had it about a week!
