Pinguicula agnata "Red Leaf" Update

[Doomsday]

Ok so the ping I thoght was the weakest and definately going to die is going hard!!!!! It is even making carnivorous leaves. Its still tiny, but it made it through the hard part. It is the frist plant I have ever received bare root and planted that has lived (cp wise).

DId you order it from Mr. West? ZMine lost almost all of its leaves ecept for two and a broken one before it started to regrow// O have mine in Peat/Perlite with a bit os lfs mixed in. Its unorthodox, but it loves it.

I think the best way to care for pings is too under water and Much light/floro.
Don't mess with it every day

Mine came a from a forum friend. Beyond that, IDK. My Mexican pings are definitely underwatered!

Well, I am going to be working on getting it into tissue culture within a week or so, so when I have them going I'll have a bunch.
