You are purchasing 1 x mature pup ready Pinguicula primuliflora of similar size to second image
 
Plant to be carefully wrapped and posted bare rooted to avoid bruising.
 
Habit/ecology: 
 
An interesting species that seems to enjoy things on the wet side, even apparently submerged in the wild. Most notable about this species is its ability to grow pups on the ends of it leaves to which in time forms dense attractive colonies. For those new to the Carnivorous Plant world this plant uses sticky leaves in which it attracts, captures and devours small prey items 

Prey items: 
Fungus gnats
Spring tails

 

Care:

Water

We grow our plants almost waterlogged for periods of time, keep in mind water should be cool if this approach is to be trialled in your environment. Normal tray method also works well.

Light

Ours grow in various lighting from shade to under grow lights. We however do not allow our plants to be exposed to direct full sun or extreme heat.

Humidity

Humidity appreciated and can be achieved by growing them on the tray method within a terrarium or green house. 

Soil

We are currently using 50:50 Perlite and Sphagnum mix. We will soon switch over these plants to our new peat & Sphagnum free mix out of concern for the environment. 

Temperature

Seems to thrive with cooler temperatures 

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)

- 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
