Hi All,
I bought 3 P.macroceras and was wanting to put them all in one pot and I was wondering how others have theirs setup.Would it be alright to have them amongst some S. purpurea and some other types or cold temparate plants?
Thanks,
Mark W.

I suppose that it depends on the size of the pot and how long you want to grow them in that pot. The S. purpurea will quickly fill an 8-inch pot and the P. macroceras will disappear under the leaves. Unless you have a very large pot, it is best to plant small plants separate from large ones.

Thnks for the response Bob. The plants came in 4" pots do you think it's even ok to repot them now or should I wait til fall?

4" pots should be fine for Pinguicula. I grow all of my CPs in 4" pots, except Sarracenia & Nepenthes (8" pots). I find that I have better success if I do my repotting in the early Spring just before plants come out of dormancy, rather than Fall when they are going into dormancy.
