Here are a few photos of my Pinguicula esseriana which I bought from Dean Cook about two years ago. The flower photo is a bit washed out. The colors really vary though from light pink to almost white. The plants have multiplied quickly from leaf pullings. Matt BS    |

I have scene some pics pf this plant with really pink leaves and white margins. Is this a genetic difference from the green plants in the first pic, or do they just color-up in high light?

Dear J, Change the soil to include vermiculite. Something like 1/3 each of peatmoss, vermiculite and perlite will work well for most Mexican butterworts. Good Growing, Dave Evans Mine just have very small yellow leaves and is still not sticky after a couple months! What am I doing wrong?! it is in 20%peat 80%perlite on a semi tray method. |

I find that growing my mexican pings on live sphagnum to work really well.
The moss sits on a layer of 50:50 peat/ perlite mix and the whole pot sits in about 3/4 inch of water. I allow the water to dry in the tray before adding more.
I've never had a problem.
Dave.
