So I bought a Pinguicula Pirrouette online a little over a month ago and she came bare root. It did look like she was in some kind of peat based mix with the grower since some still clung to it. And a leaf was bumped off. No biggie, I propagated that and have pups growing. But I moved it to a vermiculite/perlite mix instead(what I had at the time). She is in the tray method. Distilled water of course But the water evaporates quickly here since its been in the high 80s low 90s. So the tray goes low but not bone dry before I rinse the tray and fill again. Since then she has put out a whole new set of leaves and was looking good in my opinion. Even catching some gnats. But when I went to pull some leaves off the bottom for propagating(can't help myself. I want more) I noticed the roots she came with are dead. But there are also white healthy looking roots there too. Is that normal? Should I be concerened? They looked like they were already detatching from the base cause when I got my tweezers to check the situation the dead ones pulled away easily and left the nice roots in place. Maybe from the media change? Im still new to CPs so I hope I didnt kill her. If so well hopefully ill do better by her pups.
