You are purchasing 1 x Pinguicula jaumavensis of similar size to 3rd image. In God light they are much more compact similar to first image.
Ecology:
It is part of the P.esseriana complex which also includes P. ehlersiae and P. debbertiana. Some arguments of it being a form of esseriana although we have found it much harder to maintain and slower growing (and smaller!). Notably our esserianas do not get mauve colouration.
Care:
Humidity seems to encourage faster growth, be weary of rot. A sand perlite vermiculite mix is what we have used, another form of this species in our conservation collection growing in Perlite/vermiculite. Keep out of direct afternoon sun, potentially will accept morning sun though probably an approach suited for the experienced ping grower. Brighter light promotes smaller coloured foliage. We keep our plants moist year round within our unheated greenhouse conditions.
Note:
- You may receive additional species in the pack (duck weed etc) Doing our best to purify our collections and stop frog movement between our cultures!
- 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
- Be aware we cannot claim responsibility for delayed times in postage.
- We do our best to carefully package & post on Sundays/Mondays to minimise delays in transit. We care about our plant life some of which are rare, we want the plants to arrive to you in the best possible condition. But please note some factors are out of our control especially in current times
Happy Growing
