Product details

Pinguicula gigantea red x cyclosecta is a beautiful hybrid created under the Rainbow nursery that can turn olive/reddish/dark brown under intense full-spectrum lights. This pinguicula is seed-grown, and we have observed a few variations in the plant's color. Some of them turn dark olive, others dark brown and some a bit reddish. The flower that we have seen is dark violet with veining all over, but since they are seed-grown, some flower variation may be present as well. Please keep that in mind when ordering. Please add calcium to this hybrid for optimal growing conditions. You'll get a similar plant to the ones in the pictures. Please note that some plants are greener than others but will turn pinkish/reddish under intense light. You'll get a plant similar to the one in picture. The plants are shipped bare root in a plastic container to protect the plants. We ship the plants on Monday and Wednesday to avoid the weekend cut off. Plants are about 1-2" in diameter (Please read) The plant has been growing under LED lights with a temperature of 75~80° during the day and 55~70° at night. PLEASE READ BELOW: ▼ ↓ ▼ It is strongly recommended to get a heating pack during the winter to protect your plant from low temperatures, we are not responsible for dead plants that did not have a heating pack during transit. 1 heating pack per order is enough.
