Mexicans

These were given to me by Max (aka Capslock) a while back. They've been growing in full sun next to my Sarracenia. I can only do this in Winter. They're looking pretty good. Thanks Max.

Hi! nice pings u hv there!

noticed that they in jars, any reason for that?
and u mentioned they are growing in full sun in winter only, what about during other seasons?
thanks!

Thanks. I have them in jars/bowls because they will have to be grown indoors for most of the year here. I can only grow them outdoors in full sun from early winter through early spring. The rest of the year it's too hot and humid outdoors for them. When indoors I grow them in windowsills.

i see!they are growing well!.. too well that the jars/bowls are too small for them to grow to their full potential, any intention to repot them.. can b quite a challenge w/o hurting the roots.
cheers!

They are growing well now. But it is short-lived. They don't get enough light when I grow them indoors. I don't have artificial lights and won't buy any just for a few butterworts.

Some nice looking little plants

It wouldn't be too difficult to move them if they needed it. Ping roots are so short they can easily be lifted, you might damage a leaf but it won't matter.

would I be right in thinking you have a Tina, a weser and an aphrodite there? All are pretty tough little plants, so a spell inside shouldn't do them much harm as soon as conditions are good again they will recover quickly and look great again.

for pinguicula ,my speciality, it is very dangerous to grow all the genus in full sun.
all the time in shade , winter,summer,springs,automn .
in winter from the mexican species without water or very lightly
all the mexican species in a mineral soil .

Mindy...those are aphrodite, Titan, and wesser. I can move them inside, but they won't get much light. I've moved them inside the greenhouse since. The sun is starting to burn more intensely now.

you have just hybrids ping ?

No...the other bowl has moranensis.
