FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Pinguiculas are my new favorite plants, mainly because I can have many since they don't take up too much space! And they eat fungus gnats!
I'm curious because I own a few and prefer the bigger Pings (at least 2" big). I have a Titan, Morenensis D, and a Pirouette which are all great sizes.

Who knows of other Mexican species that are at least 2" big, and preferably grow pinkish?

P. laueana comes to mind. It has bright crimson flowers as well.

I have a P. 'Sethos' which is just over two inches wide, and I don't think it's even full-grown.

Hi bannister,

I grow a Pinguicula Weser that is about 2-3 inches wide I would say during its top growing period. This is a cross between a Moranensis and Ehlersiae. My lighting doesn't allow for deep coloration, but if you have good grow lights they are supposed to turn a pink color. I can still see slight pink hues on the leaves given the sunlight it gets, but it is still fairly green. I have a post updating the growth of my Weser and Esseriana further down in the 'Butterwort' forum category if you want pictures of what it (now 3 plants) looks like in the growing conditions I have it in. You can also just look at pictures online of how big plants are compared to the pots they are in as well.

I have a Sethos as well. I think mine must be still young cause it's only about 1.25 inches wide. Can't wait for it to grow bigger!

I actually have this. It's still a baby and under the size of a dime. Can't wait to see how it grows.
