;D ;D ;D 6months ago if there is anyone who could kill primuliflora it was me. Most of the time it was rot. Soi many people complained about not being able to cultivate this plant. I decided to experiment. My new ping was dying anyway so I looked at the ping in its natural habitat, and saw it growing in full sun, albeit in water. After trial and no error (pun intended) I found out. It can stand 95+ degrees underwater or with the water level at the least 1 inch below in the soil. The plants grew very well until I went for 3 weeks at summer camp. My mom forgot to water and they died. I plan to get more. As audacious and wild as it seems to work. Just flood it. If you have had any experiences with pinguicula primulifora please answer!

Hi Nep12, From your story the plants still died. I think for proper scientific method you need to try several ways of growing the plant, including a control group. Other readers new to growing pings or other CP's might take what you recommend as proven method. It's not. I would read The International Pinguicula Study Group www.carnivorousplants.org/IPSG/index.phpThe research and info on pings there is invaluable and backed up by some very solid science. Cheers. Leny
