Not all PINGUICULA are necessarily sold with flowers

Pinguicula laueana is a truly fascinating Pinguicula, famous for its leaves which, under intense light, take on red or purple hues. It produces splendid bright red flowers, which are unique in the genus.

Plant in a Ø 6.5 cm pot

Characteristics

Bright but filtered light. It also adapts very well to artificial light. More light = more intense coloration. (Without overdoing it) Some Pinguicula, particularly the Mexican species, undergo a light seasonal rest (usually in winter), during which they produce a rosette of smaller, thicker, and more compact non-carnivorous leaves adapted to lower humidity conditions. 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 survive 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; the most common ones in cultivation come primarily from Mexico and Central America, where they grow on limestone rocks or poor soils. Capture technique: They use passive adhesive traps: insects remain stuck in the viscous substance secreted by the leaves and are digested slowly.
