Pinguicula Colimensis Lithophytic Plant
Pinguicula Colimensis Lithophytic Plant
Pinguicula colimensis is a perennial heterophyllous lithophytic plant that produces distinct summer and winter leaves. In winter it forms a bulb-like rosette with about 25–130 spathulate to oblong-spathulate succulent leaves, while the summer rosette has about 6–10 green to green-yellow carnivorous leaves with sessile and stalked glandular hairs. It is among the largest orchid-flowered butterworts and is named for the Mexican state of Colima, where the holotype was collected. The plants pictured are representative, and you will receive a similar specimen. It is not flowering now, and it will ship bare root in a plastic container; shipments occur Monday and Wednesday to avoid weekend cut-offs. Current plant size is about 0.5–1 inch in diameter, and you may receive a bulb-like plant.
Care and handling details: The plant prefers a sunny windowsill with bright light from a T5 or LED setup. It uses Mexican Pinguicula mix as potting medium. Feed with fish food or insects every 3–4 weeks and keep the soil moist. Maintain 50–80% humidity and temperatures between 55–85°F. Mature plants reach about 2–5 inches and dormancy in winter takes the form of a bulb-like rosette. For winter transit, a heating pack is strongly recommended (one pack per order) to protect the plant from cold; we are not responsible for losses without heating.

Let customers speak for us
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
