Pinguicula primuliflora, commonly known as the Southern Butterwort or Primrose Butterwort, is a captivating carnivorous plant native to the southeastern United States. This species is celebrated for its unique method of obtaining nutrients through insect capture, making it a fascinating addition to any plant collection.

Key Characteristics:

  • Foliage: The plant forms a rosette of pale-green, pointed leaves up to four inches across. These leaves are covered with glandular hairs that secrete a sticky substance, enabling the plant to trap and digest small insects.

  • Flowers: Pinguicula primuliflora produces solitary, pale purple flowers with a white center and a yellow beard. The flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, with the calyx being two-lipped.

Cultivation and Care:

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, excessive exposure may cause leaf burn.

  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining, acidic potting mix, such as one formulated for carnivorous plants.

  • Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 50°F to 85°F (10°C to 29°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is sufficient. If the air is very dry, occasional misting can help.
