Pinguicula gypsicola

€9.50

VAT included

This carnivorous plant is very surprising and unique in its kind. It stands out from other Pinguicula by its thick tentacle leaves covered in glue, which do not resemble the usual flat leaves of these plants, and which unfold in the manner of Drosera filiformis . Its color ranges from acid green to full pink-mauve.

It grows wonderfully in almost entirely mineral soil, which must remain dry from November to March, when the plant is in a hibernacula state.

How to Care for and Grow Pinguicula gypsicola

Temperature

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

Water

Although it is one of the few carnivorous plants that tolerate limestone, use mainly rainwater or demineralized water. Do not use bottled water, they usually contain salts that are 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 substrate almost dry.

Fertilizer

To be totally avoided! The plant provides its own organic nutrient needs thanks to its traps.

Brightness

Place butterworts in a bright location with little direct sunlight in summer. In winter, they particularly appreciate the brightness of a well-exposed window, or artificial light.

Substrate

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