QuestionJust ordered a P. Titan from you. Does a windowsill that has those shades work? It turns and allows light in, but can close to prevent light (it looks something like this http://www.selectblinds.com/fauxwoodblinds/designer-faux-wood-blinds.html). Is that enough sun for this plant?
AnswerHi Taylor,
Thanks for sending the picture. That really helps me.
If the blinds are closed, it's not enough light. If you keep them partially open it should be fine. I always prefer to err on the side of too much light versus too little. With a butterwort when you see nice dewy looking leaves, that's a sign of good light. I have several Pinguicula in a south facing kitchen window with no shade. The window gets about 3-4 hours of direct sun midday, then is shaded in the afternoon. They look great.
Good Growing!
