Pinguicula moranensis Flower Failure: Light or Nutrition?

Garrett's P. moranensis attempts blooms but flowers/stalks wither early (3x). Plant healthy, shares 10" pot with P. laueana and moctezumae (which flowers well). Butterwort mix, water tray halfway up pot, south window in ND dorm, days shortening. Asks cause.

Expert Suspects & Fix

Jeff Dallas: Two common causes:

1. Light: Too low = no bloom completion. But others flower in same window, so likely ok.
2. Food: Try biweekly ¼-strength urea-free orchid fertilizer foliar spray. He's had great success with Grow Orchid Fertilizer 20-10-20. Mist leaves gently—should bloom prolifically.

Good Growing!
