Hey all,
I was visiting my girlfriend in North Carolina and we visited her local nursery, and to my surprise they had a huge collection of carnivorous plants added! I picked up a ping that seemed to be in great condition with tons of babies coming off of it, without knowing what species it was until I got home.
I think it's Pinguicula Primulifora. I thought it would have the same care requirements as my other pings, but apparently not.
How much light am I supposed to give it? I think I accidentally gave it too much light after I got home, since I put it under my Yescom225 growlights and some of the leaves look like they're turning slightly black or purple. It's still flowering like crazy though!
I repotted it into 50/50 peat moss perlite since I heard it likes to be wet.
Any other tips?
