Pinguicula kondoi (Mexican Butterwort)

Description: LIVE Carnivorous Pinguicula kondoi (Butterwort) Plant Pinguicula kondoi is a Mexican butterwort with quite a bit of controversy surrounding its identification. P. kondoi was first described in 1971, but some thought it should be synonymous with P. reticulata based on a set of dried specimens examined several years later. Today, the debate remains open with many believing P. reticulata should be the proper ID. P. kondoi produces beautiful flowers with bright veining and prefers a loose mineral-based substrate that drains easily.Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 0.5 inches in diameter, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive a little over one cup of our prepackaged Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot. Growing requirements Mature size: About 1.5 inches in diameter Light: Partial to full sun or grow light equivalent Soil: Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix, sand and perlite mix Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, fish food, or diluted foliar fertilizer such as Maxsea every 2-3 weeks Humidity: 40-70% with adequate airflow Water: While in its carnivorous phase, provide enough distilled water for the media to remain damp. Reduce watering and allow the media to dry out regularly once the succulent rosette begins to form. Dormancy period: Technically none, however carnivorous leaves are replaced by a smaller succulent rosette for part of the year Planting and adjustment instructions will be included with your shipment.
