Hi Everyone,
I need advice from the experts. I just started growing Pinguicula. About a month ago, I ordered a P. cyclosecta and a P. kohres from cascade carnivores, pictured below:
Left, P. cyclosecta Right, P. kohres. They came bare root. I planted them immediately in a 1:1:1 mixture of fine pumice, horticultural sand, unfertilized peat moss. I fill the trays they grow in with rain water whenever they are empty, every 2-3 days. They grow in an eastern windowsill.
Its been a month, and P. kohres lost most of its original leaves, however it is growing new leaves to replace them, but the lack of leaves is alarming me. Is it ok or do I need to do something?
P. cyclosecta grew much better. Its got a nice rosette of leaves going. When I received the plant, it didn't have any roots. Its been about a month, and it hasn't really rooted into the medium. Here's a picture of the bottom of the plant:
Why hasn't it grown out a root system yet? Am I keeping both plants too wet? Any advice an experienced member could give would be much appreciated!
