Pinguicula macrophylla, CAR-1163
Pinguicula macrophylla is a remarkable Mexican butterwort distinguished by its unusually broad leaves, giving it a bold and substantial appearance that immediately sets it apart from many other Pinguicula species. During active growth, the plant forms an impressive rosette of wide, glistening carnivorous leaves that capture loads of insects while creating a striking display. In winter, P. macrophylla undergoes a dramatic transformation, producing a compact, tightly formed succulent rosette adapted to seasonal dry conditions. During this dormant period, the plant should be kept nearly dry, as excessive moisture can lead to rot. With its unique growth habit, impressive foliage, and beautiful seasonal changes, Pinguicula macrophylla remains one of the most distinctive and rewarding species for butterwort enthusiasts.
