Delicate butterwort - Pinguicula "Anna" - 9cm pot
A natural flycatcher for fruit flies etc. - Butterworts especially rid your kitchen of these pesky critters.
Pinguicula Anna is a relatively small cultivar of butterwort. But with its bright pink flower, it always catches the eye.
Anna grows daintily and not too spreading, so it is best suited for terrariums or the windowsill.
The low-maintenance butterwort Anna is a good choice for all beginners in the world of carnivorous plants.
This butterwort grows best in a bright to sunny spot. The soil should always be slightly moist - with a little water in the saucer if necessary. In winter, you should keep the plant slightly less moist.
Fatweeds use their fatty, sticky leaves to catch insects. The prey, mostly smaller insects, are attracted by the shine and scent of the catching organs (leaves). Once they have settled on the leaf, there is no escape. They stick tightly and are drained by digestive juices. The butterwort produces a large number of flowers that bloom for several weeks. There are about 70 species of butterwort worldwide.
