ABOUT PINGUICULAS FROM FANG AND FOLIUM
Pinguicula listing photos are representative of the plants & species being purchased - the plants in these photos are not necessarily the exact plant you will receive. Pay careful attention to listing sizes.
Pings will be sent in a premium but light weight carnivorous substrate mix: peat moss, bio-stratum, seachem flourite, aragonite, sphagnum moss, small riverstone. If you want to purchase carnivorous substrate without peat or sphagnum (as pictured in some of the listing photos), you can add it separately here.
Pinguiculas are rooted and fully acclimated to regular household humidity (40-60%). Plants are not currently in flower unless otherwise noted.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT USE FERTILIZER ON CARNIVOROUS PLANTS!
DO NOT USE TAP WATER OR MINERALIZED WELL WATER ON CARNIVOROUS PLANTS!
Water with distilled water for maximum health. I use a Zero Water filter, or you can also use water from a dehumidifier. Pings have a relatively shallow root structure and generally only need 1-3 inches of substrate depth.
Keep plants somewhere warm and bright where they will not be subject to harsh drafts like heaters or air conditioners.
Do not let substrate dry out fully. Pings prefer a moist environment - this is why they do best in pots WITHOUT drainage holes.
