Identifying a Dormant Butterwort: Likely the 'Titan' Hybrid

Dormant butterwort

Question: I can't remember which butterwort this is. It's currently dormant. Purchased from you years ago.

Answer: Butterworts need non-dormant leaves and flowers for precise ID. Since you bought it from us, it's likely the hybrid 'Titan' (nicknamed "Sleeping Titan" for its long dormancy). It's the only one still dormant in our collection at summer's start.

To break dormancy, mist weekly with ¼ tsp orchid fertilizer per gallon. This also prolongs active growth. The mechanism isn't fully understood, but it's effective.

Happy growing!
