Pinguicula Martinezii x Moctezumae (Butterwort)

This gorgeous hybrid blends the best traits of two iconic Mexican butterworts: the sturdy, compact form of Pinguicula martinezii and the vibrant color potential of Pinguicula moctezumae. The result is a striking carnivorous rosette with long, elegant leaves that flush to deep pink or crimson under strong light. Its glossy leaf surfaces are coated in glistening droplets—nature’s own “flypaper”—ready to catch fungus gnats, fruit flies, and other tiny pests.

This hybrid is prized for staying compact while showing impressive color, and it blooms readily. Expect slender flower stems topped with delicate magenta-pink blossoms, a perfect complement to its bold foliage. Easygoing and efficient at pest control, this variety shines on windowsills, desks, and plant shelves.
