Pinguicula 'Aphrodite' Leaf Tip Dieback: Physical Damage or Light?

Leaf tips dying back on your P. 'Aphrodite' (grown in sphagnum moss, 4" pot, flowering constantly). Extra sun on winter leaves? Wrong soil?

Assessment

Looks like physical damage to that specific leaf, not systemic tip burn. Overall plant is excellent. Sphagnum is fine for this hybrid.

Recommendation

  • No pests visible—good.
  • Plant isn't catching prey (no gnats on leaves).
  • Feed lightly: ¼-strength orchid fertilizer misted on leaves every 2 weeks.

Constant flowering is a sign of vigor. Minor tip dieback on older leaves is normal. Feed for even better growth.
