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.

#Pinguicula question: What is the best type to get? I live in an area with lots of sun, lots of trees, lots of bugs, freshwater lakes, and boys that have no concept of shutting the doors. I have flies and fruit flies (and wasps and dirt daubers and horseflies- but I think those are too big for the little plants) zone 7b Thanks, y'all!! #PinguiculaAgnataGypsicola #PinguiculaEhlersiae #PinguiculaEmarginata #PinguiculaCyclosecta #PinguiculaMoctezumae #Butterwort #PestControl #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub

What is wrong with my butterwort 😞. I try to keep them at 60-70 humidity, 3 t5 lights on them (12 hours) and distilled water every couple days. #butterwort #CarnivorousPlants #PinguiculaEhlersiae

Propagating progress I got a teeny tiny sprout on the leaf from water propagation.

My ping seems happy but is no longer pink like when I got it. Why are the leaves curling? #PinguiculaMoranensis
