Carnivorous plant Pinguicula calderoniae (Mexican pinguicula)
Pinguicula calderoniae is a carnivorous plant with long leaves in summer and tiny leaves in winter (almost invisible like a bulb). It captures small midges, and is easy to grow, provided you observe a few rules: grow behind a bright window, under LEDs or in a frost-free cold greenhouse, with a moist substrate in summer (1 cm in the saucer) and dry substrate in winter (December to May).
Highly draining mineral substrate for Mexican pinguicula: 15% peat + mix of pozzolan, sand, perlite, vermiculite, natural clay…
I send a bare-root plant of about 5-6 cm. You’ll need a pot with substrate to repot it on arrival.
