Plant care: Butterwort 'Pinguicula ehlersiae'

Mexican butterwort ehlersiae (Pinguicula ehlersiae), carnivorous plant ideal for bright, indirect light. Pinguicula ehlersiae thrives at temperatures between 15–25°C (59–77°F) but can tolerate drops to around 5°C (41°F) in winter. Keep the soil moist during the growing season, ideally using a shallow tray of distilled or rainwater, and reduce watering in winter when the plant enters dormancy and produces non-carnivorous leaves. Moderate to high humidity (60–80%) is beneficial, but good airflow is essential to prevent rot. Plant Pinguicula ehlersiae in a well-draining, low-nutrient mix (e.g., perlite and peat moss) and avoid fertilizers. Occasional feeding with small insects can supplement its diet, though the plant can catch food on its own. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh the soil and prevent mineral buildup.
