Pinguicula zecheri ‘Faulisi’ is a beautiful Mexican butterwort registered only recently as a cultivar in April of 2022. The plant is notable for it for its enormous, ruffled flowers which can reach nearly 2 inches across! The rosette of the plant is also beautiful itself with a bright green center and leave edges that turn a purplish color in strong light.
Description
Size and packing method: Small plants are 1-1.5 inches in diameter and large plants are 2-2.5 inches in diameter. You will receive a bare root plant, 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.

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 slightly once the semi-succulent rosette begins to form, however do not allow the media to dry out completely.
