🪴 Pinguicula moranensis (Butterwort) – Care Tips

Pinguicula moranensis is a carnivorous plant known for its soft, sticky leaves that trap small insects, and its charming violet-pink flowers. Native to Mexico, it thrives in bright, humid conditions and is perfect for windowsills or terrariums.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Prefers bright, indirect sunlight

• Can tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun

• Avoid harsh midday sun which can scorch leaves

💧 Watering

• Use distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water only

• Keep the soil slightly moist during active growth (spring–summer)

• In winter (dormant phase), reduce watering and let soil dry slightly between waterings

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Requires a well-draining, nutrient-poor mix

• Recommended mix: 2 parts peat moss or coco coir + 1 part perlite/sand

• Avoid regular potting soil—it’s too rich for carnivorous plants

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Thrives in 18–27°C (65–80°F)

• Tolerates average humidity but prefers 50–70%

• Protect from cold drafts and frost

🌼 Feeding

• Catches small insects like gnats and fruit flies on its own

• No need for fertilizer—do not feed with traditional plant food

• Can be placed outdoors occasionally to catch prey naturally

🌿 Growth Habit

• Produces succulent-like rosettes

• Enters a dormant phase in cooler months, forming smaller non-carnivorous leaves

• Resume normal watering when new growth appears

⚠️ Tips

• Do not mist directly—can wash off the sticky mucilage on the leaves

• Avoid touching the leaves too much, as it can damage the trapping surface

• Excellent for keeping fungus gnats in check near other houseplants
