Pinguicula laueana x ehlersiae
Description
We'll be harvesting seeds from this cross shortly. Once they're ready to go, they'll only be kept in stock for two weeks before they're taken offline due to extremely short shelf life of tropical butterwort seeds.
We were able to cross a Pinguicula laueana with a Pinguicula ehlersiae. One of these plants has a nice bright pink flower, while the other has a nice purple flower. We're unsure what flower colour the offspring of these plants will create. The plants are currently being kept in a relatively cool environment, usually around 15 degrees, under grow lights for 12 hours a day. Less light will result in a greener plant for the laueana has shown no signs of changing to a redder colour, though may darken up with more direct sunlight.
Currently feeding them freeze dried blood worms, though beta fish pellets would be an alternative if there is an allergic reaction to the blood worms.
Seeds per pack: 10
Availability: These seeds are available for a very limited time. If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as these seeds have a very shorty viability window (so we don't offer them for very long) and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a short time.
Germination: Use a mix of 30% peat moss, and 70% sand or perlite. This is our preferred method, though there are other options out there. A new mix we're looking at is; 2 parts pumice, 1 part perlite, 1 part peat, and 1 part washed horticultural sand.
Place on the surface of your growing medium, and water in (using a spray bottle to keep from dislodging the seeds is a great way to start watering these), do not bury them. Keep the container around room temperature, with 50-80% humidity to try to encourage germination. Seeds should germinate in 6-8 weeks.
