Do Pinguicula Need Dormancy?

- It’s winter in the greenhouse and many of our Mexican Pinguicula are starting to go into their winter succulent mode. This is not a transitional dormancy and Damon will tell you more! www.californiacarnivores.com
I have ordered from them several times they have never disappointed me their plants are absolutely beautiful
Me too! And great customer service.
Thank you so much!
I love the term "ping pals":)
This is exactly the video I needed! This is my first winter with carnivorous plants and many of my pings are getting their smaller succulent leaves! I've already watched your previous video on wintering pings but it's nice to see examples in the pots again.
P.S. I can't wait for the future Pingtopia Damon will create at your new greenhouse!
Mine are 2 years & 1 week old. I purchased the kit you all introduced. I love them! But I think I may have confused them. I live in MI. My house has radiator heat. The pings are living in an e/se window with a grow light (appx 6-10 hrs per day), above the radiator. They are fat & lush right meow. I've found 2 pups & they all have flowers. In the summer, they only get a few hours of direct morning light, then grow light rest of the day. They went into succulent mode this summer. I had to remove a few leaves to let the pups break free, so I'm going to try to propagate those. If the plant thinks it's spring, they just might grow! I've got nothing to lose.
They can be little tricksters too! We find they go winter succulent at random times or stay winter succulent for two years for no reason! I don’t think theyll mind if you’re different conditions!
Hi Damon! Great information and I look forward to getting more pinguicula!
This helps a lot because I want to get some now
I ordered a pinguicula Naiad ❤️ it was so cute the way they packaging I've ordered so many kinds of carnivorous plants from sarracenia and a Venus flytrap and a sundews I've always got those and they've always were so lovely and I ordered my first pinguicula Naiad ❤️ so cute and adorable
I’m so glad you love it!
Awesome video Damon! Could you do a care guide video on drosera scorpioides? And maybe other pygmy sundews? I got a freebie scorpioides today and don't know how to care for it!
Keep it in a tray of water all year long in a bright East or west window. This time of year they make gemmae! Mine is nearly ready to harvest!
Check out this video all about it:

@@California_Carnivores WAY ahead of you! Been growing these for 10+ years!
Hi my mom and dad might be getting me some pings but i wanna do a cross how do u sow Mexican pinguiclual seeds
They can be a little tricky to hybridize and grow from seed, we’ll do a video about growing them from seed in spring!
@@California_Carnivores ok thx so much
Hi Damon, great video as always. Question, I grow mine in my Ikea grow cabinet and it’s got constant 14 hour lights and constant day temp at 80 F and night time temp at 60 F. Can ping do ok without a dormancy?
They can totally skip it, it’s not at all required, unlike the temperate plants.
What water do you use to sprinkle them?
We use distilled water only.
I have my ping under a grow light. Should I move it away or from grow light or shorter hours during dormancy? Same question for other temperate plants.
If your ping starts to change its leaf shape, just reduce watering and that should be sufficient to make it happy during winter succulency. Temperate plants are more complicated because dormancy is triggered by shorter photo periods and colder temps. You’ll want to have both.
