Pinguicula Hybrid Mexican Butterwort Live Carnivorous Plant – 1 Plant

Pinguicula, commonly called Mexican Butterwort, is a compact carnivorous plant valued for its sticky leaves and unusual rosette form. The leaves naturally capture small insects such as fungus gnats and fruit flies, making this an interesting addition to an indoor plant collection.

You will receive 1 live Pinguicula plant rooted in a small plug of growing medium. The shipped plant is a young rosette approximately the diameter of a US quarter. No pot or finished growing container is included. Mature plants shown in some listing photos are for size and appearance reference only.

The plant prefers bright, indirect or filtered light, acidic growing media, and moderate moisture. Mexican Butterworts are perennial plants and can develop offsets over time. Seasonal changes in leaf form are natural for many Mexican Pinguicula and should not automatically be considered a sign of plant damage.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
