🌿 Live Arrival Guarantee
We carefully pack and ship every plant to arrive healthy and ready to grow.
If your plant arrives damaged or unhappy, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we’ll replace it or issue store credit — no plant parent left behind.
Please note that a heat pack must be purchased from November - March in order to leverage our Live Arrival Guarantee as we cannot guarantee plant survival in cold weather conditions.
Meet Pinguicula emarginata × hemiepiphytica — a stunning hybrid butterwort that blends the best traits of its Mexican lineage into one irresistibly elegant carnivorous plant. This beauty forms a compact, glossy rosette with softly scalloped leaves that shimmer under bright light. Each leaf is lightly sticky, quietly trapping fungus gnats and other tiny pests while looking more like a boutique succulent than a carnivore.
When in bloom, it truly steals the show. Slender flower stalks rise above the rosette, producing delicate yet vibrant flowers with refined shape and color that feel almost hand-painted. It’s graceful, functional, and surprisingly easy to grow — perfect for beginners who want something special and collectors who appreciate refined hybrids.
Pretty first. Carnivorous second. Absolutely addictive.
Reminder to Order a Heat Pack if Cold
Cold weather shipping reminder ❄️
If temperatures in your area drop below 40°F, we strongly recommend adding a heat pack to your order so your Pinguicula arrives healthy, hydrated, and stress-free.
👉 Growers Choice. Plants are shipped bare root. Plants may turn green during shipment due to low light conditions. Provide bright light once acclimated to create more color.
Plant Sizing Guide
What Size Am I Getting? Let's Break It Down.
We get it—plant sizes can be confusing. Is a “small” the size of a golf ball or a grapefruit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Below is a quick guide to help you understand what each size means when shopping our plants. Measurements refer to the plant body, not including the pot (unless noted).
Tiny
- Baby plants or starter plugs. May be rooted or freshly cut. 0.5"–1.5" wide.
- Example: Butterwort plug, small seedling
Small
- Young plant, well-rooted, 1.5"–3" wide or tall.
- Example: Aeonium cutting, sundew cluster
Medium
- Established plant, 3"–5" wide/tall. Ready for repotting or display.
- Example: 2–3 year-old cactus, flowering flytrap
Large
- Mature plant, 5"–8" wide/tall. Great for centerpieces or statement planters.
- Example: Dioscorea elephantipes, pitcher plant
XL (Collector Size)
- Rare or mature specimen, 8"+ or unusually large or sculptural in form.

📦 Note:
- Pot sizes (if included) are listed separately on product pages.
- Some species naturally stay small—even large ones might only be a few inches wide. Check individual listings for details.
- Photos are of representative plants—your plant may vary slightly (because nature’s not into clones).
