Pinguicula ‘Tina’, commonly known as Butterwort, is a compact carnivorous plant prized for its glossy, lime-green leaves that trap small insects and its elegant purple blooms that appear throughout the year. This easy-care hybrid forms a neat rosette and thrives on bright windowsills, making it an ideal choice for beginners looking to explore carnivorous plants.
Plant Care
Light Bright indirect light to a few hours of gentle direct sun. Strong light encourages compact growth and healthy colouration.
Watering Keep the growing medium lightly moist using rainwater, distilled water, or reverse osmosis water. During winter, when the plant produces its succulent resting leaves, reduce watering and allow the compost to become slightly drier between waterings.
Temperature Prefers temperatures between 15–30°C and adapts well to normal household conditions.
Potting Use a free-draining carnivorous plant mix. A blend of mineral components such as pumice, perlite, and sand works particularly well for Mexican Butterworts. Avoid fertilisers and standard houseplant composts.
Hot Tips Pinguicula agnata is particularly useful for controlling fungus gnats around houseplants. During winter it may transition into a succulent-like growth phase with smaller, thicker leaves. This is completely normal and helps the plant cope with drier conditions.
Pet Friendly Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
