Pinguicula recovery and a new flower!

Proud of these little guys for rallying!! They were having some issues earlier this year, but they really picked up and now we've even got a flower!!
1ft to light, direct
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
So cute! Love the set up 🤩🤗
You have a nice setup there.
It’s so cuteee
Looking good. You have given them great care. 💚
One of mine is putting out its second flower and I am so excited! Very nervous going into our first winter, they are already putting out their succulent leaves 🤞🏼 I've been trying to find pots for next year, I love yours!
@PlantMompy I'm setting up a shelf specifically to keep them out of the drafts for overwintering, with a grow light so they don't etiolate. This is my first winter with pings too, so I'm a little nervous!
Mine are all in windows and I debated moving them to a grow light to encourage blushing, too. The grower told me to just water less and not worry about a grow light, but I'm worrying 😂 we will have to touch base throughout the season to know what is and isn't working
@PlantMompy mine are all in windows too! That's why I'm so worried about drafts. I've also heard to water less, but I'm going to stick with the grow light because I went for a vacation for a week and had to leave them in an area with less sun and over a single week they stretched out really badly, the poor things. They've finally gotten back to their round selves, I can't do that to them again especially when they're going into dormancy.
I have one that is kind of stretching. It's not getting leggy but it's normally super long leaves are trying to go to the window and not lay flat like it usually does. Maybe I'll put mine under grow lights, or at least start with that one.
@PlantMompy yeah I'd test it on that one to see if it likes the light, and move more under the light if you get a good result
Doing it now!
