Pinguicula x “Candy Floss” BARE ROOT

Pinguicula x “Candy Floss” is a new release for 2024! This unique and beautiful plant is a hybrid between heterophylla and moranensis, giving it long, delicate, dew-covered leaves that are a vivid green! The flowers are the sweetest candy pink with a butter yellow throat. This is not in tissue culture and a very rare, limited quantity plant!

These plants have a winter succulent phase in which they shed their carnivorous leaves and grow smaller succulent leaves. They greatly reduce in size, shrinking down to a tiny, cute little succulent rosette! If you order in winter, you plant will come in a tiny succulent rosette. But don’t worry, with proper conditions it will soon grow much larger carnivorous leaves and surprise you with its fantastically quick growth!

THIS PLANT WILL NOT COME POTTED, YOU WILL NEED TO POT IT UPON ARRIVAL.  MEXICAN/TROPICAL PINGUICULA PREFER OUR SANDY PINGUICULA SOIL MIX.
