Question
Can I grow a pinguicula tehuacan in puerto rico in an east window with my other carnivores [a N.rafflesiana and a cephalotus witch are both in a growth spurt].Hey tell your frinds in hawaii that the trick to grow cephalotus in the tropics is to put it in a little beach plastic refrigerator with ice at night.Anyways if you would awnser that question I would be most grateful.
Hi Yulian,
Yes, the Pinguicula grow well for you in Puerto Rico. It's native to southern Mexico and grows very well in tropical climates. For more information on growing Mexican butterworts, read our care sheet on our website:
