Pinguicula Macrophylla Butterwort Plant
Pinguicula Macrophylla Butterwort Plant
Pinguicula macrophylla is a perennial heterophyllous plant forming a bulb-like rosette in winter, with about 30–45 small leaves and 2–6 larger leaves in summer. It is native to Guanajuato, México and was described in 1817; macrophylla derives from Greek makros (large) and phyllon (leaf). You will receive a plant similar to the picture, with color variation. Plants ship bare root in a plastic container and depart on Mondays and Wednesdays to avoid the weekend cutoff. When dormant, it becomes a bulb about 0.15–0.25 inches in diameter; you may receive a bulb if the plant is succulent.
Please note that heating during winter is strongly recommended; one heating pack per order is usually sufficient. There is no formal dormancy, but a succulent state may occur in winter depending on temperatures. Mature size is 1.5–2.5 inches, depending on care.

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.
Thank you for shipping so soon. Great service
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.
