Pinguicula sp. Guatemala is a lovely, personable butterwort that really comes to life with a little extra care, often blushing pink or red when grown under bright light. It’s the kind of plant that appreciates a gentle touch - cooler temperatures, loose and breathable soil, and a watering routine that follows the seasons. In spring and summer, it’s happiest with lightly moist soil, while winter is a time to slow down and let the soil dry a bit between waterings. Easy to enjoy and rewarding to grow, this species brings soft color, calm beauty, and a natural rhythm to any carnivorous plant collection.
