Plant details

Meet this plant.

Pinguicula means "little greasy one" in Latin. They are commonly called butterworts or "pings" by some growers. They grow throughout the Northern Hemisphere, but a vast majority is concentrated in México, with some species located in South America.

Pinguicula's leaves are coated in microscopic glandular hair that secrete sticky mucilage. These glands have the ability to capture sunlight, giving the leaves a glittering, shinning appearance that may attract insects. Most of Pinguicula's victims are small gnats, fruit-flies, or springtails. As soon as butterworts catch their prey, their sessile glands start to release digestive enzymes to dissolve their victims, then the sessile glands reabsorb this fluid rich in nutrients.

 

You'll get 10 randomly selected SMALL butterworts. This is a perfect gift or to start your very own Pinguicula collection.


Please read: In this pack, you'll get 10 mystery SMALL butterworts (This bundle does NOT allow you to select your own plants, all plants will be randomly selected, no exceptions). Butterworts are about 0.5 in diameter, these are small plants, please read before ordering. If you desire an adult/mature Pinguicula, please buy the plants individually. If you get more than 2 packs, you'll probably get duplicates. Please read before buying more than 2 bundles.

Carnivorous Plant Butterworts- The plants in the pictures are representative only. You will also get plants that are probably not in the pictures. [Plants are not flowering at the moment]

The plants are shipped bare root in a plastic container to protect the plants. We ship the plants on Monday and Wednesday to avoid the weekend cutoff.

These plants are about 0.4-0.6, depending on the Pinguicula.

Questions about plant options, delivery, tracking, or an order? Inty is here to help before and after your purchase.

Will my plant look exactly like the photo?

Live plants naturally vary in height, branching, leaf count, color, and shape. Photos show the variety and typical presentation.

Can items arrive separately?

Yes. Plants can have different preparation times and packaging needs, so one order may receive more than one tracking number.

What should I do when it arrives?

Unpack promptly, inspect the plant, water only when needed, and let it acclimate before making major care changes.
