Details
Soft rosy-lavender color, sticky little leaves, and a taste for pests - this butterwort is beauty with a purpose.
The Pinguicula ‘Fumiko’, also known as the Rosy Lavender Butterwort, is proof that carnivorous plants can be both delicate and deadly.
With its rosette of soft, rosy-lavender leaves, this eye-catching butterwort brings a subtle pop of color and a whole lot of charm to your collection. Its smooth, succulent-like foliage gives it an elegant, almost floral appearance - but don’t be fooled. Those glistening leaves are coated in sticky glands designed to trap fungus gnats and other tiny pests, turning this pretty little plant into a natural insect catcher.
Compact, colorful, and endlessly fascinating, Pinguicula ‘Fumiko’ is perfect for anyone who wants something a little different in their indoor jungle. It’s equal parts ornamental beauty and bug-catching powerhouse, making it one of those plants that always sparks conversation.
At Plantaholic, we love plants with personality, and the Rosy Lavender Butterwort delivers in the best way. It’s unique, functional, and just the right amount of weird - basically everything we love in a carnivorous plant.
Pretty enough to admire, sticky enough to work.
Care Tips
The Pinguicula ‘Fumiko’ is easier to care for than many carnivorous plants, as long as you give it the right setup.
-
Light: Place in bright, indirect light. It enjoys plenty of brightness, but harsh direct sun can damage the delicate leaves.
-
Water: Use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water only. Keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. A shallow water tray works well during active growth.
-
Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually enough, though it appreciates moderate humidity. Good airflow helps prevent rot.
-
Soil: Plant in a nutrient-poor carnivorous plant mix, such as peat and perlite. Avoid standard potting soil or fertilizers.
-
Feeding: No need to fertilize - this butterwort catches its own food by trapping small insects on its sticky leaves.
-
Dormancy: It may form a tighter, succulent-like rosette during dormancy, requiring less water until active growth resumes.
-
Pet Friendly: While not considered particularly toxic, it’s still best to keep it out of reach of curious pets as large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset.
Give it bright light, pure water, and the right soil, and your Pinguicula ‘Fumiko’ will reward you with soft lavender beauty and built-in pest control.
