Watering Pinguicula 'Aphrodite': Moist, Not Wet

Pat noted a discrepancy: website care guide says standing water for P. 'Aphrodite', but DVD says no standing water for butterworts. Asked for the correct method to avoid repeating a lost P. moctezumae.

Just Moist Is Best

P. 'Aphrodite' is durable and tolerates wetter conditions than most Mexican butterworts, but thrives kept just moist—not waterlogged. Allow a little tray water but let it fully absorb before adding more. African violet pots (wicking) are an easy way to maintain this balance.
