Pinguicula "hans"

Today, I went out to save some cp's from the local gradening center, and I picked up this ping called "hans"... Anybody knows it?? is it hard to grow?? Does it need somekind of special treatment?? I would realy love to know!

Greetings & happy growing,

Hmmm, I do believe that "Hans" was the name given to a plant by a dutch based nursery, I believe it more commonly goes by the name of "Tina".
 
Hello,
Vertigo is correct. Its common name is "Tina" the plant is a hybrid from P. Zecheri x Agnata. Also called P. "Gina". A mexican ping, it can thrive very well in highland conditions. Flowers are a pale violet with a dark purple mouth and a yellow throat. Mine is 4 1/2 inches in diamiter, and is cabable of getting larger. It is a great plant to have. Good luck,
Kevin

For the ping:
Light: Bright light for 4-5 hours, or a 16 hour photoperiod, with artificial light.

Watering: Use the tray system, or keep the pot in a saucer with water in it. Refill when it goes dry.
