Plant details

Meet this plant.

Pinguicula heterophylla is a perennial heterophyllous species that produces glandular carnivorous leaves during summer and a subterranean bulb during winter. Pinguicula heterophylla can be found in three states in México (Oaxaca, Guerrero and Michoacán) in mountainous areas where it experience a temperate climate. The epithet, heterophylla, derived from the Greek heteros (other, different) and the Greek phyllon (leaf). This particular species is from Concepción Pápalo, Oaxaca, México.

Carnivorous Plant Butterworts- The plants on the pictures are representative, you will get a similar plant. [Plants are not flowering at the moment]

The plants are shipped bare root in a plastic container for protection. We ship the plants on Monday and Wednesday to avoid the weekend cut off.

These plants are between 1-2" when they are in their carnivorous phase, please note that they might be shipped in their succulent phase as bulbs too.

PLEASE READ BELOW: ▼ ↓ ▼

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.

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.
