I read someplace, but not sure where, that warm temperate pinguicula can be propagated via leaf pulls, but that the success rate was low. Would like to hear if anybody has tried this and what the results were. Thanks

Got a couple of strikes from a primuliflora leaf pull. Haven't tried any others though, so i can't speak to the difficulty. But i've heard the same thing; That they're not as easy as Mexican pings. I'll be attempting caerulea next.

P. primuliflora is the exception amongst warm temperates since it's the only warm temperate that produces plantlets on its leaf tips. The others can produce plantlets at the bsae of the leaf like Mexican Ping pullings, but it is very difficult to do and has a low rate of success.
