has anyone ever grown this plant b4???? when i first got mine it was the size of a quarter, now its almost as big in diameter as the pot i have it in. but as the plant grows new leaves it pushes the older leaves down into the peat. ive noticed new little plants growing from the old leaf???? its freakin amazing, ill hopefully be posting some pictures of my plants real soon!

Ah.. pinguicula premiflora or in other words the Primrose Butterwort.. a great plant one of the easiest (to me) hahaha

allen,

I bought this once. It actually grew really well for me at first. What I did was buy it, then leave it in a terrarium without water, but the soil stayed moist over the winter season, It grew like crazy, so I took leaf cuttings and got two strikes, then the mother died because I over watered or pulled too many leaves, Then both the babies died because I abused them and either under watered or just left them. Thats unfortunate because its a nice plant lol. Well, I might think of getting another one later and try again.

They do grow from leaf cuttings very nice though.

Yeah, they are crazy easy. I thought I lost mine over winter when the temp dropped below 20F. But one survived. Now thanks to the leaf sprouts there are almost a dozen. I need to move some of them to a new pot.

Is it P.primuliflora?The do have produce babies on their leaves but they'll rot (very easily,one of mine died this way)if the medium is too wet
