You are purchasing 1 x Pinguicula 'Down Under' of similar size/colour to 1st image. They can produce a much darker purple but becareful about heat under grow lights. Please note some may be more on the green side as we begin to move them to cooler positions. Heated media is an enemy of most pings.
Plant to be sent bare rooted carefully wrapped
Note the second last 2 images of how how dark red/purple the colouration can get in good cool lighting
Our plants are GreenHouse grown, a must have in the CP collection/ Pinguicula collection
Best grown in a terrarium type environment with good light, but not direct sunlight. Perlite mixed with vermiculite kept moist is our mix, but different conditions may mean trialling different low nutirent media/ratios of the media . Always keep them moist and in a humid environment.
Note:
- Protect your local biodiversity, do not release any plant into your local environment even if native. Plants from cultivated sources may not be of genetic local provenance and interfere with local population ecology and genetics
- We do our best to check for hitch hikers before sending but we can't guarantee there wont be any. We suggest all plants be quarantined to contain any potential hitchhikers (algae to aquatic & land snails/inverts ) no matter the supplier
- Apologies we cannot send plants internationally to WA, TAS or NT (Biosecurity)
- Please pay for plants/items by 1pm Saturday to give us time to package the plants before post day Mondays. Payment after 1pm Saturday will mean plants posted the following week. If there is a public holiday during the post week we will post the following week to avoid the plant spending excess time in transit
