Pinguicula moctezumae x 'Sethos' (Butterwort)
Pinguicula moctezumae x 'Sethos' (Butterwort)
Pinguicula moctezumae × Sethos is a vigorous and attractive Mexican butterwort hybrid that combines the long, graceful foliage of P. moctezumae with the colouration and reliability of the popular hybrid Pinguicula 'Sethos'. The result is a striking carnivorous plant that forms rosettes of elongated, sticky leaves capable of trapping fungus gnats, fruit flies, and other small insects.
Under bright conditions, the foliage often develops attractive pink to red tones, while mature plants produce elegant purple-pink flowers throughout much of the year. Easy to grow and highly adaptable, this hybrid is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced carnivorous plant enthusiasts.
Like other Mexican butterworts, this hybrid may enter a succulent winter phase, producing smaller non-carnivorous leaves while growth slows. Its combination of colourful foliage, attractive flowers, and natural pest-control abilities makes it a standout addition to any carnivorous plant collection.
Parentage: Pinguicula moctezumae × Pinguicula 'Sethos'
Plant Type: Mexican butterwort hybrid
Growth Habit: Compact rosette of elongated carnivorous leaves
Flowers: Purple to pink orchid-like blooms
Light: Bright indirect light or filtered sun
Water: Use rainwater, distilled water, or reverse osmosis water
Growing Medium: Free-draining Mexican butterwort mix with low nutrient content
Dormancy: May form a succulent winter rosette with reduced watering requirements
What's Included: One healthy Pinguicula moctezumae × Sethos 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.
