Fatweed Trio - 3 different Pinguicula species from our range - 9cm pot
A natural flycatcher for fruit flies etc. - Grease herbs especially rid your kitchen of these pesky critters.
Fat herbs grow best in a bright to sunny place. 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.
