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.
