Repotting Pinguicula 'Gina': Time for a Larger Pot

Pinguicula Gina

Pinguicula 'Gina'

Your P. 'Gina' has been in a 3" pot for a year. Flower stalk burned on lights overnight. Will it outgrow a 4" pot?

Move to a 5" pot now. The plant is robust and will appreciate the root room. You won't need to repot again for a while. Trim the burned flower stalk. Plant looks great—give it space to expand.
