Pinguicula x 'Tina' - Mini-clods

Temperature

Up to 35°C in summer and from 5 to 15°C in winter.

Water

Although it's one of the few carnivorous plants that tolerates lime, primarily use rainwater or demineralized water. Do not use bottled water, as it generally contains salts harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a saucer containing 1 to 2 cm of water. Do not water from above. In winter, keep the potting mix almost dry.

Fertilizer

Absolutely avoid this! The plant provides for its own needs in organic nutrients thanks to its traps.

Brightness

Place the butterflies in a bright spot, but avoid direct sunlight in summer. In winter, they particularly appreciate the light from a sunny window or artificial light.

Tina pinguicula Substrate

Depending on the species, use our pinguicula substrate composed of sepiolitic clay, dolomite, and perlite, which ensures drainage, or blonde peat mixed with a large proportion of perlite and vermiculite . In a mineral substrate, it grows slowly but surely.
