r/Pinguicula

I created my first Pingdom and I’m super excited! I’m somewhat new to carnivorous plants but I’ve had a single pinguiculas for a few months in my greenhouse cabinet. Any tips?

I found aphids on a drosera about 2 weeks ago, but didn't notice that they got into my pingrock until yesterday when I cleaned the container. No noticable damage on my pings yet, except for the slightly odd new growth on the P. cyclosecta. I'm giving the rock a bath, hopefully this will be enough to eliminate them.

Should I divide the ones that are multiplying and growing in a clump?

I’ve had this thing for awhile now, but I’ve noticed the pings drying out more and more, as well as them going back into succulent mode instead of flowering, should I go with an alternative route? I also don’t keep the water fountain constantly on, I turn it off every other day or so, and I realize the water needs to be changed, but I don’t want them all dieing on me…..

A couple of weeks ago I got these P. rectifolia, many dying leaves in the first few days. Now, one of them looks like that, what should I expect?

Its supposed to be Pinguicula weser, but honestly it doesn't look to good rn... I'll fix it with time but how do i care for it? Is it like drosera with a need for water 24/7 or more Nepenthesee with a once every week or so typa schedule? I've got the dormancy phase down so no questions there but i did repot it into this fancy little pot (it has drainage holes) but i found out that it doesnt have a lot of roots, just some short white threads at the base ? Is that normal? Like i am genuinely concerned on how little there was, maybe like 5 different ones coming from the base and while i was repoting one if the leaves literally just fell off?? I got the light thing down too so no questions there.... Last thing, isnt it supposed to be pink?is it a sun thing? Any help is appreciated

Got some pinguiculas over the weekend. First time getting these types of carnivorous plants and would love any tips you might have on helping them thrive.
I’m based in Melbourne Australia so it’s a pretty cold autumn at the moment.

Sorry, I'll guess you get this question a lot, but is it a Mexican species, do I have to let the dish dry out in between watering?

Soil looks a bit thick, should I repot and go far a Sphagnum/ perlite mix?

Thanks in advance

It appears that my little bitty Lilac Lollipop is beginning to flower. It’s adorable. Had to share 💜

I can't stop staring at it

my favorite ping, Gypsicola x Moctezumae

pardon my succulents. i got some new pings from rainbow carnivorous plants :) everyone is doing well after shipping and i fed them yesterday. my p. agnata ‘red leaf’ is putting out his fifth flower!

first picture, LTR: p. agnata ‘red leaf’; p. martinezii; p. cyclosecta (all from curiousplant + potted in their mix)

second picture, LTR: p. ‘ysi’; p. ‘razzberry blonde’; p. ‘weser’ x agnata ‘el lobo’ (all from rainbow carnivorous plants + potted in their mix)

New to the group and to Pinguicula (butterwort) ownership! Original name, I know 😅😅

Have had this little one for about 2 months now and it's one of my favorite plants (next to the Maranta leuconeura (Prayer plant)). I've found myself catching fruit flys and gnats for it and placing them on the leaves. Audrey III has started flowering recently and she looks great! Love the bright purple bloom.

Just wanted to share with like minded folks... Thanks for looking!

My first ping seems to be happy
