Question
Butterwort
Hi,
I have two questions:
Could you please tell me what kind of Butterwort this is? I received it as a Christmas present, and I really don't know my Butterworts, at all.
Also, it has taken residence in my dorm room, which only has a southern facing window. Do you think this will provide my plant with adequate sunlight?
As usual, thank you so much!
AnswerHi Arnie,
Without a flower on the plant I can't tell exactly what species it is. It is a type of Mexican butterwort, and is very likely Pinguicula moranensis, but several other species look very similar.
Your south window should be fine for it. For more information on growing Mexican butterworts visit our caresheet pages at http://www.cobraplant.com/caresheets
Good Growing!
