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

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

Shipped quickly and packaged nicely. This is the second ping I’ve bought from here; the first one was doing so well that I wanted another!

I love this little plant. I had a green ping before this but omg PINK like come on. It’s already caught a few fungus gnats. It’s still a bit green but I’m expecting it to pink up more.
Came packaged very carefully which I appreciate. Was very easy to transplant from its little cup to my carnivore pot set up. I 100% plan to buy more from curious plants and have a few bookmarked lol
