Growing & Care
Temperature: In most climates, Mexican Pinguicula do best indoors. The ideal temperature range is 55-90 degrees.
Light: Pinguicula prefer very bright light. A sunny windowsill is a great spot. If you want to achieve maximum coloration, a grow light is recommended.
Soil: There are many options for Pinguicula substrate & many growers seem to have their own preferences. Our current mixture contains peat moss, pearlite, course sand & fluval stratum. The most important thing is that it's well draining.
Water: During it's carnivorous phase, keep the soil slightly damp. Bottom watering is recommended. If/when your ping enters winter dormancy, reduce watering and allow the substrate to dry slightly before adding more water. As with all carnivorous plants use mineral free water such as distilled, rainwater or RO.

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 may be replaced by smaller non-carnivorus succulent leaves. At this time water should be reduced & the soil allowed to dry slightly between watering. If the leaves don't change, continue care as usual.
- 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
