Not all PINGUICULA are necessarily sold with flowers
Pinguicula × Gina is a hybrid (P. zacheri x P. agnata) highly appreciated for its compact growth, light green carnivorous leaves with pinkish hues, and ease of cultivation. It blooms abundantly and is also ideal for beginners.

Plant in a Ø 6.5 cm pot

Characteristics

Intense diffused or indirect light. It adapts well to both natural and artificial light. Some Pinguicula, particularly the Mexican species, undergo a light seasonal rest (usually in winter), during which they produce a rosette of non-carnivorous leaves that are smaller, thicker, and more compact, adapted to conditions of lower humidity. During this phase, the plant does not enter complete dormancy: it is sufficient to reduce the water in the saucer, keep the substrate just moist, and ensure good lighting. With the return of more favorable conditions, it will resume producing carnivorous leaves. In contrast, temperate Pinguicula undergo a true winter rest: during the autumn, they progressively lose their carnivorous leaves and form a hibernaculum (a compact rosette of non-carnivorous leaves) that allows them to withstand the cold. During this phase, it is necessary to drastically reduce watering, keep the substrate only slightly moist, and ensure cold temperatures (0–10°C). In spring, the plant resumes growth by producing new carnivorous leaves. Pinguicula are native to various areas of the world; those most common in cultivation come primarily from Mexico and Central America, where they grow on limestone rocks or nutrient-poor soils. Capture technique: They use passive sticky traps: insects become trapped in the viscous substance secreted by the leaves and are slowly digested.
