    Pinguicula Esseriana light & temperature

    Light:
    Pinguicula Esseriana is native to Mexico, where its used to receiving plenty of light. In your home it will appreciate full sun during the morning or evenings; just make sure it doesnt burn up in intense afternoon sun during summer.

    If you cant provide enough light youll have to consider using some artificial lighting to grow your Ping, as it wont do too well in darker environments.

    Temperature

    Although this is a tropical plant that is used to dealing with high temperatures and humidity during summer it wont mind lows too much either. It handles wintertime chill and drought by going dormant, shedding its carnivorous leaves and replacing them with succulent foliage.

    So yes: this plant is both a carnivore and a succulent!

    Pinguicula Esseriana soil & planting

    Soil

    The natural habitat of Pinguicula esseriana can be quite inhospitable. Many Pinguiculas grow in places that most other plants wont, like attached to rocks or on steep hillsides. Obviously these environments dont exactly offer nutrient-rich soil, which is why the species has evolved to obtain what it needs by catching it itself.

    Because Pinguicula roots havent evolved to absorb nutrients, Pinguicula needs a sandy well draining soil.

    Planting

    • A soil mixture consisting a blend of perlite, peat, sand, pumice.
    • Your Pinguicula Esserianas pot should have drainage holes at the bottom to avoid fungus due to overwatering.
