Butterworts (Pinguicula)

Easy to care for carnivorous plants, with the entire leaf surface being covered with slimy insect-trapping glue. Wonderful plants for catching loads of those pesky gnats, fruit flies, no-see-ums, etc. Year-round outdoor growing in temperate areas, and excellent windowsill / terrarium plants in other areas, with beautiful flowers too! Most varieties need filtered bright light, medium-high humidity, and pure water. See our Carnivorous Plant Care pages for more detailed information.

PLEASE NOTE that due to the short, fragile nature of the roots of butterwort plants, extra care should be taken when uncovering these plants after shipment. While it a very rare occurrence, if they become dislodged during shipment/unpacking, simply make a small hole in the soil and carefully tuck the roots of the plant into the hole.
