Pinguicula agnata Growing Upright: Normal, Not a Light Issue

Third P. agnata attempt (first two died). Planted in African violet self-watering pot with equal peat/vermiculite/perlite. Under 100W CFL 6 inches away, RO water. Leaves growing straight up, not rosette. Is light too far?

Expert Verdict: Plant Looks Great

Jeff Dallas says upright growth is normal for P. agnata—they look succulent. Conditions sound good. Key: P. agnata hates being too wet; African violet pots help. If winter leaves form, let soil go bone dry for ~3 months.

Why Previous Plants Died

Likely overwatering. The self-watering pot and well-draining mix solve this.

Good Growing!
