A few days ago, I repotted my new
Pinguicula primuliflora and some babies in a mixture of peat, perlite, sand, and lfsm. (Not sure of the ratio since I was just eyeballing it, but I tried to go for 1:1:1:1.) They looked great beforehand, but now they're shriveling a bit.
This is my first experience with Pings, so I don't know what's normal. One potential problem is that I used peat that I've had sitting (in the shade) on my back porch for about two years, which in retrospect may not have been the best idea. I also used coarse all-purpose sand from the garden section at Lowe's, which I think is safe but I'm not 100% sure.
I attached before and after pictures, with the "before" pictures being the ones that look better (of course).
Is this sort of response to repotting normal? Do they look like they're getting too much or too little water? Thanks in advance.
