Rock Garden - Pinguicula x Aphrodite
Pumice rock is a great medium for growing tropical butterowrts. Its porous nature allows it to soak up water to keep butterworts at the right moisture level. In fact, in the wild, this is how many tropical butterworts grow! Their roots are very short, no more than 1/2 inch, and can take hold in rock crevices along cliffs and small streams. Growing this rock garden is very easy. Give it very bright filtered sunlight and set the rock in small amounts of water. The butterwort can remain in the rock indefinitely. In time, it will produce plantlets that will adhere to other parts of the rock.
Plants You Receive
