Declining Pinguicula moctezumae: Fungus Gnats or Fertilizer Deficiency?

Two Likely Causes

  1. Fungus gnat larvae: Check for tiny black flies and white worms in soil. If found, repot and treat with imidacloprid.
  2. Nutrient deficiency: Foliar feed weekly with orchid fertilizer at ¼ tsp/gal. "Weakly, weekly" rule applies.

Current Setup Is Good

African violet self-watering pot and fluorescent/window light are appropriate.

Good Growing!
