Pinguicula emarginata × 'Weser' (Butterwort)
Pinguicula emarginata × 'Weser' (Butterwort)
Pinguicula emarginata × 'Weser' is an attractive Mexican butterwort hybrid that combines the compact growth and elegant flowers of Pinguicula emarginata with the vigour, colouration, and proven performance of the famous hybrid Pinguicula 'Weser'. Both lineages originate from species adapted to the limestone cliffs and mineral-rich seepage zones of Mexico, resulting in a hybrid that is both ornamental and reliable. Plants typically form neat, symmetrical rosettes with strong hybrid vigour, making them an excellent choice for collectors of all experience levels.
Like other butterworts, this hybrid captures small insects using specialised leaves covered in microscopic glands that secrete a sticky mucilage. Fungus gnats, fruit flies, and other tiny arthropods become trapped on the leaf surface, where digestive enzymes break down prey and release nutrients that are absorbed directly through the foliage. The leaves are generally bright green but frequently develop attractive pink, peach, bronze, or reddish-purple tones under stronger light, reflecting the influence of 'Weser'. Mature plants produce elegant flowers on slender stems held above the rosette, typically displaying shades of lavender, violet, or pink-purple that complement the colourful foliage.
Like many Mexican butterwort hybrids, Pinguicula emarginata × 'Weser' undergoes a seasonal transition between an actively carnivorous rosette and a compact succulent rosette during cooler or drier periods. Its combination of compact growth, colourful leaves, and attractive flowers makes it a particularly rewarding hybrid for cultivation. By blending the refined characteristics of P. emarginata with the ornamental qualities of one of the world's most popular butterwort hybrids, this cross offers a beautiful example of the diversity and horticultural potential found within the genus.
Origin: Cultivated hybrid (Pinguicula emarginata × 'Weser')
Plant Type: Perennial carnivorous butterwort hybrid
Growth Habit: Compact rosette with seasonal carnivorous and succulent growth phases
Flowers: Lavender to pink-purple flowers borne on slender stalks
Light: Bright indirect light to filtered sun
Water: Prefers pure water and moderate moisture during active growth
Growing Medium: Open, mineral-rich butterwort mix with excellent drainage
Dormancy: Seasonal succulent rosette during cooler or drier periods
What's Included: One healthy Pinguicula emarginata × 'Weser' growing in a Nano Nursery cup, ready to continue developing under suitable conditions.
A tissue culture plants are grown in clear gel, transparent container that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.
Our Gel Cup are non-sterile gel media that we use for start the hardening process after a plant has been in tissue culture.These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy as the get ready to transition to standard growing conditions.
Quick Hardening Steps:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
Each transparent Transition Cup (5 cm diameter × 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant that has moved beyond sterile tissue culture and into a structured transition medium.
Inside, you’ll find a young carnivorous plant securely planted in a semi-solid blend designed to support root development while easing the shift from gel to soil.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity and airflow, helping reduce transplant shock and supporting the plant during this critical transition stage.
Suitable for both novice growers and experienced collectors, Transition Cups provide a reliable, low-stress way to guide delicate carnivorous plants toward successful soil establishment.
Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.
Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.
Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
