Nice. They should be alright, it's a Mexican Butterwort so transplanting at any time is fine.

Hi Tommy,

Thank you for replying back to my post! I guess time will tell :)

I have one growing near a window where my orchids are situated and the remaining ones are growing under fluorescent lighting. That's where I've had the most success. Will keep you posted. :)

Update on my Pinguicula moranensis: Last weekend, I tried an experiment by trying to propagate through leaf cuttings. I was able to get one leaf cutting and placed it in my soil mix (sand, perlite and sphagnum moss). Within the first 24 hours, the leaf started to show signs of decay so I thought the experiment was a loss cause; however, the base of the leaf still looked ok and within a few more days, I saw signs of a plantlet coming up! I was so excited! It's the first time I was able to get one to come up! Here's a photo. Do I just keep this guy watered the same as my others or should I keep the soil dry for now till it gets more established? Thoughts?

As always, thank you for reading my post!

I wish I could grow pings, they are so cool!

Thank you! Out of all the carnivorous plants I've tried (Nepenthes, Utricularia, Drosera, VFTs), pings have been the easiest and most forgiving. My goal is to try and propagate a few more of these guys. What species have you tried? I've had the most luck with the tropical/Mexican type. Thank you for the message :)

I have the Pinguicula moctezumea and it was doing well but I think the roots got too hot and know it is mush :( I have really good luck with droseras pitcher plants and VFT, and am soon getting a cephalotus! kinda scarred.

Neat list! I have a few Nepenthes species (Miranda, Lady Luck, Red Leopard). I kept Drosera capensis a few years ago. I've also tried Pinguicula primuliflora but didn't have much luck at all. I've read that Cephalotus can be on the finicky side so I'll leave those to the experts! Please keep me posted on how yours is progressing! Remember that it's all a learning process. Right now, I'm pretty content with the collection I have. I will post more photos of mine as they progress. :)

Thanks! Right now I'm growing 2 Venus fly traps, 4 drosera capensis, 8 or so common pitcher plants and about 10 drosera burmannii's. (the burmannii is my favorite drosera because it can curl around insects in seconds!) I used to have a tiny cephalotus but it died because I had a lot of trouble watering it in the tiny pot it was in, but the next one I'm getting will be in a bigger pot.

The problem I had with butterworts was that they always got moldy! Maybe I'll have to try them again with more air flow.

Yours look amazing! OK I'll post some pictures of the cephalotus whan I get it. Can't wait to see some pictures of you're other plants!

The types of Nepenthes you have look amazing! Do you remember were you got them from?

I got the red leopard from sarracenia northwest. I obtained two from them and both are very healthy! They're pretty small so I don't expect much from them this year. If you're able to do business with them, I highly recommend them. They're very knowledgeable. The Miranda I obtained from a local nursery here. They were mislabeled and I tried to inform the store owner but he didn't want to hear it from me so I was like..ok fine then. I got the Lady Luck from eBay actually. It arrived in one of those biodome contraptions. I left it in there for a few months and then I transferred them to larger pot. Theyre extremely teeny tiny but growing very well indoors.

Nice! good to know. I hate it when stores are like that!

Here's an updated photo of the cutting from above. The leaf cutting has completely deteriorated so I am guessing the plant is completely on its own by now. Hopefully, it will continue to grow:) I will take another photo in a few weeks :)

As always, thank you for reading my posts :)

Thank you,

duc nguyen.

Very nice! You did it!

Thank you guys! I'm kinda proud of myself actually;)

now if it will continue to grow I will truly be happy!

Keep giving it the same care you are and I'm sure you will have success! (but take my word with a grain of salt seeing as I've killed all my pings!)
