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.
Growing requirements
Mature size: 2-3 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.

Dormancy: Technically none, however carnivorous leaves are replaced by a smaller succulent rosette for part of the year

This was a great plant!! It was definitely the largest ping I have received upon purchase(almost 2.5 inches!!) The color was also representative of the plant, and I will definitely be ordering from here again :)

My plants came quickly and the step by step directions with videos was super helpful. I’ve order carnivorous plants before that didn’t have how to adapt them from travel and they died quickly. Ones I order are doing great from the easy to understand directions.

I’ve ordered from other carniverous plant sites, and these have been the best. Pings are so much bigger than expected, and seem great so far. Thank you!
