Pinguicula moranensis Winter Leaf Transition in Late Winter

Mexican Butterworts Often Go Dormant in Late Winter, Not Fall

A P. moranensis on a west windowsill began producing winter leaves in January after growing well in December. The owner asked if this timing was normal.

Yes—Biological Clock Follows Mexican Dry Season

Many Mexican Pinguicula enter dormancy in late winter, aligning with the dry season in their native range. Some stay growing if kept consistently damp; others dormancy regardless. It’s normal.

Good Growing!
