Pinguicula's are similar to Sundews but rather than have hairs with sticky tips the Pinguicula produce micro fine sticky droplets on its broad flat leaves much like flypaper and collects very small insects like on its surface. Pinguicula's are also well noted for their large long lasting flowers that come on the plant at almost any time of the year.
Pinguicula's are a shade loving plant from cooler climates and are relatively easy to care for and multiply. They are ideally suited to growing in terrariums and window sills that are not to hot. They are easily grown with ferns and under shaded benches.
