FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I just got a ping. Primaflora a week or two ago and when I recieved it, it already had a flower. It just opened up a new flower and looks like it's starting to grow another, but the old flower looks like its wilting? Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? It's in a 5 gallon planter with a sarracenia and a pygmy sundew, gets morning sun and although this current planter has a terrible water holding tray, I make sure the soil is really damp but not flooded. Soil is peat moss soil with pearlite and I use only distilled water.

Welcome to FlytrapCare!

I am far from a Pinguicula expert, but I believe Ping flowers can last quite a while but will eventually wilt. If it is growing a new one, I wouldn't worry about it as long as the plant looks healthy.

the exact name P.primuliflora

it is normal , did you look if you had a seed capsule formation?

you know in the wild this species is sometimes submerged and it does not bother him at all, 2 other subtropical US, too, P.planifolia and P.ionantha
