Default Pinguicula aka Butterworts

I started out with 2.......and have ended up with a lot more. I am experimenting with propagation and they seem to grow ( but slowly ) from leaf cuttings planted stem down in sphagnum moss. They also readily have basal keikis which can also be split off. Interesting thing is that they are in my basement ( high 66, low 55 ) and show no signs of dormancy. The only noticeable difference is the lack of flower buds. The one grown in much warmer conditions is still developing buds. I haven't fed them dried blood worms for months and they have had to make do with the occasional fungus gnat, and these are few and far between as the population of these has virtually disappeared.

If you look carefully you can see the "keikis" developing on the plant in front. ( on the right-hand side )
