Pinguicula primuliflora (the Southern Butterwort) is probably the most common Pinguicula as it grows pups and flowers easily. Produces a light purple flower. Does best in a sunny window and sitting in wet sphagnum moss. Available in 3.5″ pots.
This Butterwort can be grown in a bright sunny window indoors or outdoors as long as it stays very wet. Place a bowl of water underneath so that it never dries out as it prefers to stay more wet than other domestic Pinguicula.
Use only rainwater, distilled water, water from a Reverse Osmosis System, or water with TDS (total dissolved solids) of 50 or less. Keep the moss wet, but don’t fill it with water above the top layer of moss while in the jar.
Does well in sphagnum miss or a mix of organic peat moss (75%) to perlite (25%). Don’t use potting soil or commercially grown peat moss which may contain fertilizers. Click here to view our available soil mixes on our website.
This Butterwort does best in temperatures above freezing and can tolerate warmer temperatures as long as it remains in a wet environment.
This Butterwort goes through dormancy in the Winter months. During the colder winter months, be sure that it’s not exposed to temperatures below freezing for an extended period of time.
