How to fertilize Mexican Butterwort
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Mexican Butterwort after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Look at this little cute flower on my ping! (among all the dead fungus gnats 😂) It’s killing off a lot of the outer leaves while acclimating but producing a lot of new growth in the center so I think (hope) it’s doing okay! #CarnivorousPlants #Pinguicula #FloweringPlants #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
