Pinguicula ‘Weser’ is a hybrid of P. ehlersiae and P. moranensis. It is similar to P. ‘Sethos’ which is also a hybrid of P. ehlersiae and P. moranensis, the main difference being floral markings. P. ‘Weser’ was registered as a cultivar in 1998 and received its name after a river near the original growers location. 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.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. Medium plants are between 1 and 1.5 inches in diameter and large size plants are about 2 inches in diameter. Currently plants are more green in color due to rapid growth. 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.

Always happy with plants from Curious Plant. Compared to other online sellers, their plants are bigger and healthier looking w/ great color. They answer any questions you may have too. Great customer service. I appreciate I can receive through 2-Day Fed Ex to my front door, even though pricier than USPS. It won’t be sitting in a mailbox for days.

Bought a Cephalotus and two Pings. It all came well packaged, on schedule, and exactly as expected. They are doing well under my grow lights and I couldn’t be happier. Will buy again from these folks.
