Hi folks,
Perhaps someone can shed some light on why my P. Primuliflora just started to wilt? It was doing fine, flowered, now it just started to wilt! It looks terrible! what gives? There was no change in environment, I'm stumped.
Could be the fungus gnat larva...The top of the substrate has a thin, white layer of something. I'll submerge completely for a few hours and see what happens. Thanks guys!
it's probably fungus nats... they make a white moldy looking film on the top of cp soil, dunking it completely for 2 days will do the job. Pinguicula primuliflora also sometimes likes the water level at the surface of the soil, maybe it's wilting from too little water?
Tim,
I think that is only for this species....I'm not sure you can apply that theory accross the genus...Someone else will have to comment on that (pingman?).
Anyway, here's the scoop. Totally dead. As a doornail.
But all is not lost.....
Some of the wilting leaves had little plantlets growing on them, so I removed those leaves and treated them as cutting....now to wait and see.
P.primuliflora, and planifolia can tolerate submerged conditions for extended periods. The rest of the warm-temperate U.S. pings can stand being submerged. I would not leave them in the water for too long. Avoid submerging for the mexican sp.
