Butterwort or Mexican Pinguicula (Pinguicula)
Meet Pinguicula – an unusual carnivorous plant that visually resembles a succulent green rosette. Its soft, thick leaves are covered with microscopic glands that sparkle like dewdrops, attracting and naturally controlling small indoor insects such as fruit flies. This houseplant is an excellent gift for curious nature lovers and a modern interior, combining unusual functionality with a romantic and compact appearance.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
-
☀️ Light: Bright, diffused light. The plant likes light but protect it from harsh midday sun rays.
-
💧 Watering: Moderate. Unlike other carnivorous plants, pinguicula does not tolerate constant "standing water." Water from below (tray) when the top layer of soil starts to dry out. Use only distilled or rainwater.
-
🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: Prefers average room temperature. Misting is not recommended as it can wash away the sticky layer from the leaves.
-
🐾 Pets: Pet-friendly – pinguiculas are non-toxic to pets.
🏠 MOST SUITABLE ROOM
-
Kitchen with a bright window, where the plant will help naturally manage fruit flies.
-
Bright bathroom, where the existing air humidity will help the leaves retain their succulence.
-
Collector’s shelf, placing it together with other succulents or exotic plants.

⚠️ Note: Plants are living organisms, so each specimen may slightly differ from the one shown in the picture.
🌡️ COLD TIME! If the outside temperature is below +5°C, be sure to add a heat pack to the order so that plants and predatory mites do not freeze on the way.
❄️ In cold weather, we recommend choosing Smartposti parcel lockers, as they provide indoor delivery, reducing the impact of low temperatures on your shipment.
⚠️ Important about the heating element! ‼️ 1 heating element per 1 order – it is not necessary to put one for each plant. ‼️ Provides heat for up to 72 hours. Without a heating element – we do not take responsibility for frozen plants and predatory mites.
📦 Pick it up promptly! When the package has been delivered, collect it the same day. Do not leave the package in the parcel locker overnight! Cold and heat can damage the plants and predatory mites.
