Growing Pinguicula primuliflora as a Tropical: Pot Size and Dormancy

A grower asks if P. primuliflora can be grown as a tropical (no dormancy) and whether to repot a healthy plant.

Tropical Culture

P. primuliflora tolerates minimal dormancy (e.g., windowsill seasonal cues) but fails under constant artificial light/photoperiod. Larger pots (6-inch, tall) moderate soil moisture and reduce rot risk – a common issue.

Repotting Advice

No rush, but move to a larger pot within 1–2 months for long-term health.
