Pinguicula moctezumae

Pinguicula moctezumae

Pinguicula moctezumae is a true Mexican species best known for its long, narrow strap-like leaves and larger, more vertical growth habit compared to many compact hybrids.  It is native to moist limestone cliffs along the Moctezuma River and is often grown a little wetter than many other Mexican Pinguicula, especially during active growth. These pings appreciate higher humidity than others and have an average diameter of 3-5".
