Pinguiculas are great little carnivorous plants to have around our orchids, especially indoors, because they are very easy to care for but especially because their primary diet is fungus gnats...a considerable pest for indoor orchid growers.

EdMo...Pinguiculas go dormant during the winter. Their leaves get smaller and the roots break off. In nature this prepares them for the winter rains which flood and carry them away to a new spot to take root.

I repot my Pinguiculas into fresh sphagnum moss each fall. I break apart the "pups" and put one per pot. The broken off leaves will also take root and start new plants.

The Pinguiculas will break dormancy in Feb/March.
