Pinguicula gypsicola x moctezumae is a Mexican butterwort hybrid known for its slender, ribbon-like leaves that radiate outward in a striking rosette, taking on shades of orange, red, or purple under strong light. It's a heterophyllous plant, meaning it produces distinct carnivorous summer leaves and a compact, non-carnivorous winter rosette — an interesting seasonal transformation that adds year-round visual variety to the collection.
This hybrid is a reliable grower for a Mexican butterwort, thriving in bright light with a loose, mineral-based substrate. It's a great pick for anyone drawn to the unusual gypsicola leaf shape but wanting a slightly more forgiving, vigorous plant to grow.
Pinguicula change leaf form in response to seasonal changes and conditions, particularly for Mexican and other tropical species
