Alfred Lau was a botanist who researched and discovered many Mexican butterworts in the wild. This particular plant was one that he discovered in the wild and remains unidentified. It potentially is a form of Pinguicula gigantea or a natural hybrid with it. It has large, broad, slightly wavy leaves at full size, and grows very quickly. It seems to grow well without a dry winter rest if the soil is moist and the lighting is bright throughout the year. When fully mature, the plant can span 8 inches across.

Type of Plant: Tropical plant for windowsill growing.
Size: 8 inches across when mature.
Sunlight: Dappled to partial sun. Avoid hot sunlight.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: 1 part peat moss, 3 parts perlite.

    Butterwort

    I like the plant, but although this is a very new plant to me I'm not in love with it yet. It is not growing as I had hoped it would and I am following all directions. Perhaps this is not the environment for this particular item. We will see...I am determined to keep trying with this little guy however.

    Lovingly packaged

    I've bought from other online sellers of carnivorous plants and am still in awe of the care put towards the packaging of your plants. Unless I have to buy something you don't carry I will never shop anywhere else.

    The plant is still growing and catching insects after being transplanted into a larger pot. It arrived fast and very well-packed as usual. Great service!
