Pinguicula 'Sethos' Mexican Butterwort

Light - Sunny Windowsill or grow lights. Depending on strength of grow light, they should get 4 to 8 hours of light a day. They do not do well outside in full hot sun more suited for a window sill or under a grow light indoors. 

Substrate - Peat Moss, Sand, Crushed Glass, Perlite mix. You can use a mix of peat moss, sand and perlite, but it's not ideal. Substrate needs to be well draining, ping should not sit in boggy conditions as they are subject to rot. You can add on my pinguicula substrate mix as an add on or buy it separately. 

Water - RO, Distilled, Rain water should be used. Tap water with high dissolved solids can kill pings over time. Make sure to keep pings wet most of the time during growing season. Pings will do okay if you let the dry out a little bit between waterings. I like to let the top layer of substrate dry out, but want to make sure the roots have access to water. Don't let them sit in water or boggy conditions frequently as they are subject to rot. Water can be reduced during the succulent stage. 

Humidity - Pings can thrive in a wide range of humidity. Anything from 20% to 90%. Perfect humidity would be around 50%. 

Temperature - 55 to 85 Degrees F. 

Dormancy - These do not need a dormancy period. However, if exposed to colder temperatures and reduced photo periods, they will go into what's called a succulent stage. Growth will slow way down, the leaves will be smaller and stunted. Water should be greatly reduced during this period. 

I ship live plants on Mondays and Wednesday to avoid the weekend cutoff. They will come bare root in a small plastic container surrounded by moist paper towels. If shipping during the colder winter months, it's strongly recommended that you add a heat pack to keep the plant warm. Heat packs are available as an add on. Please note, returns requested for plants that were shipped in the winter without a heat pack may not be accepted.

If plants arrive in poor health or dead, we will be happy to either issue a refund or a replacement, please note that replacements are subject to availability.
