Pinguicula (Butterwort) Moranensis

Pinguicula moranensis, commonly known as Butterwort, is a carnivorous perennial plant native to Mexico. It features rosettes of fleshy, bright green leaves covered in sticky, glandular hairs that trap and digest small insects. This nutrient absorption helps the plant thrive in nutrient-poor soils. Butterwort produces delicate, violet or pink, five-petaled flowers that bloom primarily in the spring and summer. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, requiring moderate watering to maintain moist but not waterlogged conditions. It is an excellent choice for windowsill gardens and terrariums, valued for both its unique insect-catching ability and its ornamental flowers.
