Hi, i need help with a pinguicula moranensis, i love it, i want it grow big and healthy, what i need to do?, wen i buy the plants all was full of fungus gnat, so im going to change the old peat, for a new one, a mix 70% silica sand and 30% peat moss sphangum is ok?, tks to all.
That should work fine. In "Savage Garden" there's a picture of one growing in an abalone shell so I really don't think you should worry about the medium. Just make sure it's got good drainage. 70% 30% will have good drainage so yeah it should work.
For my Mexican Pings, I mix together equal parts peatmoss, pumice, silica sand, perlite, and I almost forgot, vermiculite! This has produced some nice results. I recommend rinsing it all very well before potting up the moranensis.

You know Homer, comments like that could force another "what do you pot your ping's in?" debate. I can think of more than two handful's of people who all use different media. And that my friends is one of the reasons I love Pinguicula.
Sounds like the first mixture I used for ping's windplant.
Just remember, most CP's like lot's of love from a distance. They like it when you pay attention to them, but also seem to like being left alone to do their own thing.
