AngeLiamPlants Pinguicula Pirouette Butterwort

Because the plant arrives bare root, you will need to pot it immediately in a carnivorous-appropriate soil mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite. Keep the plant in a high-humidity environment, like a clear plastic bag or a humidity dome, for the first week to help it acclimate before moving it to its permanent windowsill spot.

Yes, unlike many other Pinguicula varieties that require a dry winter dormancy period, the 'Pirouette' hybrid maintains active growth year-round. You can expect it to continue producing its signature sticky, bug-catching leaves throughout the seasons as long as it receives adequate light.

To achieve that vibrant pink coloration, this plant requires bright, indirect light. A south or west-facing windowsill is ideal, but if your home lacks natural light, a standard LED grow light will also effectively trigger the color intensification.

Absolutely. The leaves are coated in a sticky, mucilaginous substance that acts as a natural flypaper for small insects like fungus gnats and fruit flies. It is a highly functional, non-toxic way to manage minor pest issues in your indoor plant collection.

Carnivorous plants are sensitive to minerals, so always use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and avoid getting water directly on the leaves, as this can wash away the sticky enzymes needed for catching prey.
