Pineguicula Care Guide

Instructions

 Care or dormancy info will be the same on most varieties. 

  • In spring & summer, we water using a tray with 1/4"-1/2" of water depending on pot depth. The tray should be allowed to dry between watering, yet the Pinguicula soil should remain damp. 
  • In the wintertime ,the carnivorous leaves are replaced by smaller non-carnivorus succulent leaves. At this time water should be reduced & the soil allowed to dry slightly between watering.
  • In spring when carnivorous leaves begin to emerge, watering should be increased.
  • Pings will be shipped bare root, carefully wrapped in damp paper towels & placed in a plastic deli cup.
  • Our Pinguicula substrate consists of the following:3 parts peat moss, 4.5 parts pearlite,2 parts course and 2 parts fluval stratum
