    Different Butterwort

    I ordered a Pinguicula Gigantea and received a Pinguicula x Gina. It was well packaged and in great shape, but not what I ordered

    Really Well Established

    Posted by Unknown on November 13, 2014

    I used to have a p. gigantea, but it blew out of the soil because it had a really weak root system. This plant looks really hardy and well established. I can't wait until it gets big!

    Excellent packaging. Even after getting lost in the mail my plant arrived in fine health and after a few days of acclimation began to actively grow again! I have also purchased from SNW in the winter and my tropical plants were no worse for the wear.
