The largest group of warm temperate Butterworts (Pinguicula) grow in the Southeastern coastal plain of the United States! Most share their habitat with other carnivorous plants like Utricularia, Drosera, Dionaea and Sarracenia. They do best grown in outdoor bogs in suitable climates or in cool and warm greenhouses.

I got these little guys almost 6 months ago and they’ve been thriving ever since! This guy and my cape sundew I ordered with it were my first time ever growing sundews, and what a great first experience! I live in Delaware and I was able to grow them outside all of spring and summer with great health. Unfortunately they lost some of that red coloration they arrived with but they still readily produced dew and flowered so I don’t think that’s a problem. And since winter is just around the corner I bought grow lights and have had these guys under those for about 3 weeks and they’re reddening right up! I’ll probably keep them indoors year round. I’ve harvested dozens of seeds in just one season and recently started sowing them, no results yet but I’m sure I’ll see some seedlings in a few weeks. Leaf propagations work really well too (better than Capensis in my opinion). So yeah tokaiensis has been awesome to grow, cheap, easy, and rewarding, that’s a perfect combination for a starter. Oh, and thank you California Carnivores for giving me eleven plants in one pot! I was only expecting one, what a pleasant surprise!
This was exactly what I needed to repot my pinguiculas. They are thriving after their repot and I couldn't be happier with the results. It shipped and delivered on time, and the quality was great. I highly recommend this soil mix.
The plant arrived in good shape. I planted it immediately kept it moist. The planting material with some that I bought from you guys and it melted. It is dead. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Perfect beginner set for a bog. Plants came in healthy and I can’t wait to see them grow!
