Repotting Pinguicula primuliflora: Glazed Ceramic Pots Are Fine

Pot Suitability

A glazed ceramic pot with a smooth interior/exterior is perfectly acceptable for P. primuliflora. Ensure it has a drainage hole.

Growth Habits

This species behaves as both temperate and tropical. It grows through winter if temperatures stay mild. Like fork-leaf sundews (D. binata complex), it can thrive indoors or outdoors.

Good Growing!
