CatEye Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I propagaded several Pinguicula from summer leaves: Pinguicula ‘APHRODITA’(P. agnatha x moctezumae) Pinguicula ‘WESER’ Pinguicula agnata Pinguicula agnata x gypsicola Pinguicula gracilis x moctezumae Pinguicula gypsicola Pinguicula gypsicola x moctezumae Only one didn't succeed, it was either P. gypsicola or a hybrid with it.... I know that several Pinguicula won't survive if they don't have a dry dormancy, but they still have carnivorous leaves. Here are pictures of my Pinguicula: Pinguicula ‘APHRODITA’ Pinguicula agnata Pinguicula agnata x gypsicola ? Pinguicula gypsicola or Pinguicula gypsicola x moctezumae Pinguicula gracilis x moctezumae ? Should I give them a dry dormancy? .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitar Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Firstly I would be more worried about the big amount of mold that in your pots . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatEye Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Firstly I would be more worried about the big amount of mold that in your pots . On the ICPS it says that fungicides mean death to Pinguicula. Also the mold is there probably because the soil is fresh. In my experience this mold appears the first month on peat and then disappears.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 It depends how you are growing them. In my cool greenhouse I keep my Mexican Pinguiculas bone dry, but that is because the rest of the greenhouse is so wet and almost 100% humidity, if I kept them wet they would rot. If you're growing them indoors or under lights then you can keep them growing if they are happy to keep growing. If they start to go dormant, and form smaller, winter leaves in the centres of the rosettes then reduce watering to at least damp rather than wet. Let the plants decide.

31drew31 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I find they dont go dormant until larger. I also keep them wet until I see the leaf type change, then they're kept bone dry. I always keep them humid, approximately 80%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimscott Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I keep mine at a south-facing window sill, with the smaller pots suspended in the red trays. I water occasionally. My substrate is what is called APS (Aquatic Plant Soil). The aim is to have them respond to the naturally occurring photoperiod, along with being completely exposed to the air, with occasional "wetting of their whistle", while winter cools the sill.
