Pinguicula esseriana is one of the cutest and most compact of all Mexican Pinguicula, with a small, tight round rosette that is pink in very bright lighting and green otherwise. It propagates very easily from the succulent winter leaves!

This is a miniature species, and the plants for sale are around 1/2" - 1" across.

Measuring 1-2" across, these remarkable plants will be shipped bare-root, ensuring their safe arrival.

WATER
One of the remarkable traits of this butterwort is its affinity for wet conditions. Thriving in boggy environments, P. esseriana prefers consistently damp soil, making it essential to keep the potted plants in a tray or dish of water. Maintaining the right moisture levels is crucial for their well-being.

To meet their specific water requirements, it is recommended to use water that is very low in salt and other minerals. Distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water is highly advised, particularly if you reside outside of San Francisco.

LIGHT
Pinguicula esseriana demands abundant bright light to flourish. Providing 4-5 hours of direct sunlight on a windowsill is the optimal choice. Alternatively, if shielded from wind and freezing temperatures, these butterworts can be grown outdoors in full sun. Indoors, they can also thrive under the illumination of bright fluorescent or LED lights.

TEMPERATURE
Noteworthy is the exceptional temperature tolerance of P. esseriana. With ease, it withstands scorching daytime temperatures exceeding 100°F, as long as its soil remains adequately wet. Even chilly nights dipping into the high 40s pose no problem for these resilient plants. However, it is vital to shield them from freezing temperatures, as they are not resilient to extreme cold.

FOOD
A distinguishing characteristic of butterworts is their ability to thrive on the nutrients derived from bugs. P. esseriana is no exception. In outdoor environments, these plants will efficiently catch prey on their own. Indoor plants may also capture some insects. Should you desire to supplement their diet, feeding them bugs such as swatted flies or freeze-dried mealworms is recommended. Additionally, betta fish pellets made from krill or misting the plants with a 1/4 strength orchid fertilizer can provide supplementary nourishment. However, be cautious not to fertilize through the roots, as it may harm or even kill butterworts.

DORMANCY
 P. esseriana produces non-carnivorous “succulent like” leaves during the winter. This winter period is characterized by a slowdown in growth and a change in leaf morphology. It is crucial to provide appropriate conditions for dormancy, including slightly reduced watering and slightly lower light levels. While P. esseriana does not have a fully dormant period like some other species, it does exhibit a seasonal change in leaf form, which can be considered a form of dormancy.

MATURE SIZE
Attaining a mature size of 1-2 inches in diameter, P. esseriana displays its unique beauty within small stature.

SOIL
To ensure the well-being of these butterworts, it is crucial to avoid using commercial potting soils. Many of these soils contain fertilizers or minerals that can be harmful to the plants. Instead, opt for a potting mix based on long-fiber Sphagnum moss or fertilizer-free Sphagnum peat. Repotting every 2-3 years is generally recommended for most carnivorous plants, including P. esseriana.

Bright color and tough skin both great
Color: Regular-Orange, Size: 2.5"(Medium)-12 Pack
These tennis-style balls are, as promised, much tougher and thicker-skinned than an ordinary tennis ball, being made as a fetching ball for dogs. I bought them as foot covers for the legs of walkers used by the elderly, a very popular use. They work extremely well to protect rugs and flooring, and to make a quiet gliding cover, easier for seniors to move smoothly without snags. The usual tennis balls used for this purpose wear out pretty quickly, but this ball was made to be repeatedly fetched and gnawed on by your Rottweiler, so it's a big improvement. You will need a good cutting tool to score in the crosswise slits where you insert the walker leg; it's too tough for your household scissors, but that's just the point, right? It's tough. Very much recommended!

Not great quality
Color: Regular-Red, Size: 2.5"(Medium)-12 Pack
My dog is 7 months old, about 35lbs as of this review. These balls barely lasted a month as they all kept breaking if thrown against anything or just bounced repetitively. The color is good so that you can see it better in the dark, but I would not say these balls are worth the price. Update 2023-12: After posting my review the seller contacted me and provided me with two free sets of balls as an apology for the bad quality of the original set. So far these are holding much better with my dog and she loves to play fetch with them.
