Pinguicula ‘Weser’.
A hybrid (likely moranensis × ehlersiae) bred for color, vigor, and indoor adaptability.
One of the most popular hybrids due to its strong red/pink coloration under high light and consistent flowering. Fast-growing and forgiving compared to species.
Leaves form a symmetrical rosette with smooth, slightly elongated pads that blush pink to red under higher light.
Light requirements.
Prefers east and south windows.
Place directly at the window or within 1–2 ft.
Under grow lights use 5000K–6500K.
Distance from canopy.
8–12 inches for strong color and compact growth.
10–14 inches for steady growth.
Foot-candles: 1,000–2,500 for color expression and growth. Below 800 fc reduces red coloration and slows growth.
Watering & environment.
Keep lightly moist during carnivorous phase.
Allow slight dry-down between waterings in succulent phase.
Always check the root zone.
Performs well in mineral substrate with moderate humidity and good airflow. Tolerates indoor conditions well above 60°F.
What your plant is telling you.
Needs water: dew production drops, leaves lose slight firmness.
Too wet: base softens, leaves become pale and lose structure.
Light issues: lack of red coloration and flatter growth indicates low light. Intense bleaching or crisping indicates too much direct exposure.

Beautiful plants I always buy my plants through rooted plant shop. that’s my go to shop
The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.
What a cool way to discover new plants! I love it!
I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
Beautiful plant. Shipping was great. Plant was well protected for shipping. Even came with an instruction card on what you should do when the plant you unpacked it.
