Pinguicula Esseriana Agua de León Plant
Pinguicula Esseriana Agua de León Plant
Pinguicula esseriana, also known as Agua de León, is a perennial carnivorous plant with heterophyllous leaves. It forms winter rosettes and broader, non-succulent leaves in summer. The plants shown are representative, and you will receive a similar specimen that is not flowering at the moment. Some plants may appear greener, but under intense light they can turn purplish. Plants are shipped bare root in a plastic container and measure about 0.5–0.75 inches in diameter. They have been grown under LED lighting with day temperatures around 75–80°F and night temperatures around 55–70°F.
Orders ship on Mondays and Wednesdays to avoid weekend cutoffs. A heating pack is strongly recommended in winter; one per order is enough, and we are not responsible for plants that die if not heated during transit. Care basics: provide bright light from a sunny windowsill, a T5, or LED; use Mexican Pinguicula mix; feed every 3–4 weeks with fish food or bugs; keep soil moist; humidity 50–80%; temperature 55–85°F. Mature size about 0.75 inches, and there is no dormancy, though the plant may enter a succulent state in winter depending on temperatures.

Let customers speak for us
Really nice soil and awesome service
Never used because I ordered the wrong Water Filter. Mike was very helpful with the return and refund. Excellent Customer Service.
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
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.
