History of the Pinguicula
Pinguicula, also known as butterwort, is a carnivorous plant that forms compact rosettes of fleshy, sticky leaves. Small insects are caught on the sticky leaf surface and used as an additional source of nutrients. The various species and hybrids differ in leaf colour, shape and flower colour, and their compact growth makes them particularly attractive as small houseplants.
Care as a houseplant:
- Light: Bright to very bright, but without strong midday sun.
- Temperature: Ideally around 18–25 °C.
- Humidity: Normal to slightly increased humidity is sufficient.
- Substrate: Use a special carnivorous plant substrate. No ordinary potting soil.
- Watering: Use rainwater, distilled or very low-lime water. Keep evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging.
- Feeding: Do not feed. The plant obtains nutrients from the small insects it catches.
- Special features: The sticky leaves are natural insect traps. Avoid touching the leaves where possible.
Care as a terrarium plant:
- Light: Bright to very bright, ideally with suitable plant lighting.
- Temperature: Around 20–27 °C for tropical and Mexican species.
- Humidity: Around 60–80 % is favourable.
- Substrate: Mineral, nutrient-poor and free-draining carnivorous plant substrate.
- Watering: Keep evenly moist, but never permanently wet. Be sure to avoid waterlogging.
- Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation. An open or well-ventilated terrarium is ideal.
- Special features: Mexican Pinguicula in particular are suitable for terrariums. Exact care may vary slightly depending on the species or hybrid.
Overwintering tips:
Many Mexican Pinguicula form a more compact dormant rosette in winter. During this time, water less and keep the substrate somewhat drier. As soon as larger carnivorous leaves appear again, watering can be slowly increased.
