Pinguicula agnata is a striking Mexican Butterwort known for its smooth, glossy leaves that shimmer with sticky mucilage to catch and digest small insects. Its name, agnata, means “without edges,” referring to the softly rounded leaf margins that form a compact rosette. This species often develops a beautiful lime-green color under moderate light, with a subtle pink blush at the edges when grown in brighter conditions. In bloom, it produces elegant violet-lavender flowers that rise above the foliage, adding a charming touch to any carnivorous plant collection.

In Tissue Culture:
Each sealed tissue culture cup contains one or more healthy Pinguicula agnata plants growing in a sterile nutrient gel. These plants are disease-free and ideal for hobbyists or collectors seeking vigorous, young specimens ready to harden and transplant into their own growing setups.

How to Harden:
Once received, gradually acclimate the plants by opening the cup slightly each day to reduce humidity over 5–7 days. After hardening, gently remove the gel by rinsing with distilled water and plant into a mix of 1 part peat moss, 1 part perlite, and 1 part coarse aragonite sand. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light at around 20–26 °C.
