Overview

Blending beauty with carnivorous functionality, this fascinating butterwort forms an attractive rosette of lime-green, sticky leaves that act as a natural pest control system, particularly effective against fungus gnats. Pinguicula 'Tina' produces enchanting pale violet-blue ‘viola-like’ flowers on erect stems above its lettuce-like foliage. This warm-growing hybrid thrives in temperatures above 18°C, making it an excellent choice for terrariums, warm greenhouses, or east/west facing kitchen or bathroom windowsills where it can enjoy the humid atmosphere it craves.

Care guide

This carnivorous plant should be watered from below during the growing season. The easiest way to do this is to stand the pot in a saucer that is filled with 1cm of soft or water. Ideally the pot and water-filled saucer should be kept on a tray of gravel as this will help keep the humidity high. When the plant is dormant, water only when the compost gets dry, making sure the excess can drain away freely. Pot on in spring using a specialist carnivorous plant compost. Plants take a few years to reach maturity and their full potential size. Regular contact with insects (such as fungus gnats) can support healthier and more vigorous growth. During winter, this evergreen perennial enters a period of semi-dormancy, producing non-carnivorous leaves and requiring reduced watering.
