Pinguicula x ”Marilyn Monroe” BARE ROOT

Amongst fields of pings, this new hybrid immediately catches your eye! Theres something about the shiny, pink rolled margins of the leaves that remind us of Marilyn Monroe’s iconic lips blowing a kiss. This plant forms upright, tightly packed pink leaves that sparkle like diamonds, a girls best friend!  The parents in this cross are “Princess Bubblegum” x moranensis “Vera Cruz” and have created a vivid pink flower! These plants have a winter succulent phase in which they shed their carnivorous leaves and grow smaller succulent leaves. They greatly reduce in size, shrinking down to a tiny, cute little succulent rosette! If you order in winter, you plant will come in a tiny succulent rosette. But don’t worry, with proper conditions it will soon grow much larger carnivorous leaves and surprise you with its fantastically quick growth! THIS PLANT WILL NOT COME POTTED, YOU WILL NEED TO POT IT UPON ARRIVAL.  MEXICAN/TROPICAL PINGUICULA PREFER OUR SANDY PINGUICULA SOIL MIX. Care Instructions Sun: Sunny windowsills or in a terrarium under four T5 bulbs, filtered sun outdoors in the tropics Water: Sitting in at least two inches of distilled or purified water from Spring through Summer and in winter they should be allowed to dry out slightly during their winter succulent phase Temperature: 50 degrees - 90 degrees Dormancy: no true dormancy but does have a winter succulent phase during which the plant will produce small succulent leaves instead of flat sticky leaves
