Mexican Pinguicula

Mexican Pinguicula are compact, windowsill-friendly carnivorous plants. Their sticky leaves catch fungus gnats and other small insects. Most bloom for much of the year, and they handle ordinary household humidity without a terrarium.

Everything here is grown in our Chandler, Arizona greenhouse and ships live and rooted: easy hybrids like 'Pirouette' and 'Johanna', collector locality forms, and compact species such as P. debbertiana. Harder-to-source forms go up as they're propagated.

Not sure which to pick? Our guide to choosing your first Mexican butterwort compares them side by side. The care guide covers light, mineral-free water, and the compact succulent phase they enter in winter. Once a plant settles in, you can multiply it from leaf pullings.
