pinguicula medusina and drosera slackii


Question

What type of Ping?
Is there any "special" do's and don't's for these two? I can't find any info on the slackii, as in how much light, humidity, and water they require? The ping I recently bought from Lowes and the closest ping I've found that is similar to it is the Medusina. I'm still waiting for my book to come through the mail!  Is there a site to list Pings and compare what I have to the different species?Thanks Guys!

Answer
Hi Marian,

The general care information about these plants is too extensive to cover in this format.  Instead, read our care sheets on our main website:
http://www.cobraplant.com/caresheets

The care sheets cover a lot about lighting, soil and water.  The butterwort you have looks most similar to P. medusina.  It's the flower, however, that will help identify the plant.

Check this website for a list of Pinguicula commonly grown in cultivation:

Good growing!
