r/Pinguicula

I think it’s dividing itself after its first ever flower (the center one).

This is my first time growing carnivorous plants. My little butterwort seems to be happy

I have seen that the american market has GORGEUS Pings. Such is the case with Rainbow carnivores, California Carnivores among many others.

I was wondering if any of you know where can I buy pings here in Europe. I feel here the diversity is not that big and only few nurseries have a good range of pings for sale.

Happy growing and thanks for all your help! :)

Pd: here you have a P. Grandiflora I found im the wild!

Been about a year since I bought my first ping. Wanted to share my pingdoms so far, really happy with how the moss has settled in!

Noticed this teeny tiny webbing on my raspberry blonde yesterday… yeet it or leave it?

Also, seems like she might need more light, advice welcome! First ping 🥹

So these guys were inside a container for about 7 weeks. I've just transferred them to a pot and leaving inside the house and then take them outside when it's spring (in 2 weeks) !

I want to transfer them to my bigger pot outside with the other pings, the ones outside are in peat/perlite mix and not sphagnum but growing beautifully

I think they're gigantea, the ping I took leaf cuttings from were quite big anyway compared to my other pings

I spent my Sunday building my new pinguicula garden. This was more intensive than I thought but i had a lot of fun putting it together.

Here's all the different ones I have here
1. P. cyclosecta
2. P. laueana
3. P. ‘Johanna’
4. P. agnata × gypsicola
5. P. ‘Florian’
6. P. moranensis var. caudata
7. P. hemiepiphytica × cyclosecta
8. P. jaumavensis ‘Cardonal’ (x2)
9. P. ‘Pirouette’
10. P. ‘Sunshine’ (x2)
11. P. kondoi (x4)
12. P. ‘Baby Medusa’ (x5)
13. P. esseriana {Agua de León}
14. P. gigantea red × zamudioana (x2)
15. P. sp. Guatemala

This is my first pingdom and pings that I’ve ever owned, I was just wondering if there were any recommendations or changes that I should make. Any tips or other insights are welcome too! Thank you all!

Forgot what the first pictured species is but the second species is Pinguicula “Fiorello III”.

I just bought these seeds and im excited to try and grow some pings from seeds. I am just unsure what substrate to use for these. From what I understand I don’t have to do the cold process for them but i want to know which substrate works best for ping seeds if you have had the chance to grow them (: i was thinking maybe doing milled sphagnum moss but im open to any advice

I will be receiving my first Pings this Friday 🥹💖 I got 3... then 1 more (Estrellita) ... I'm trying to be reasonable and stop adding to my order 😅

Got some new grow lights that I can't wait to install 💡

I built their future home today and hope I did well: pumice stone, lava rock, little bit of perlite and fluval stratum.

I'm still not sure if I should add live moss or not?

I'm looking at Cyclosecta for my next one... Good idea?

I love so the colors and shapes

I’m not sure how I missed the existence of this group but I found it now. :-)

Here is a large ping rock that I constructed where I work, about three years ago now.

Hello, I was browsing yesterday and saw someone had made one of these using dragon stone and immediately wanted to try my hand at making one. Here’s how mine turned out!
This is going to sound like a ridiculous question considering that I’ve already assembled it, but how can I be certain that my rock is wicking moisture? I would hate for my pings to just dry out.
Edit: I also have no clue what type of pings these are so an ID would be fabulous!

Writing this bc my ping collection is starting to multiply and I have enough grown ones that I think I could start selling them on Marketplace. I’m inexperienced with ‘ping bowls’ but I grabbed a random glass piece from Marshall’s and tried to replicate the setup that’s been working well for me + twine to distribute water. I’m in the north NJ area and got all my pings from driving 40+ min (one way) in or out of state, so I think demand could definitely be there. Long story short, would you buy this on Facebook marketplace for say, $50-$80? Especially considering appearance, but also that there are 5 different species (Johanna, Gigantea, Agnata, Cyclosecta hybrid, and unidentified). (I was definitely planning on letting them settle in and root themselves since I just transplanted them and they’re a little loose)

At most I was going to give it a quick wipe-down to clean it up a bit, but I’m looking for criticism on any aspects of this. I’ve seen ping bowls with cute trinkets added like glass mushrooms, should I go that route? Any response appreciated.

Btw it’s fluval stratum and a random aquarium rock for the top layer, above a layer of white river stones and perlite for drainage (with the twine).
