Plant details
Meet this plant.
Pinguicula acuminata is a perennial heterophyllous, producing different leaves in summer and winter. Their leaves are small, compact, and non-carnivorous during winter but grows larger during growing season. Please note that in this species, the entire winter rosette is withdrawn slightly beneath the soil surface (winter bulb).

It is strongly recommended to get a heating pack during the winter to protect your plant from low temperatures, we are not responsible for dead plants that did not have a heating pack during transit. 1 heating pack per order is enough.

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.
