Pinguicula gigantea 'alba' x huahuapan

With enormous leaves, P. gigantea is aptly-named, for sure!  This Mexican species produces by far the largest plants of any Ping known, with adult rosettes sometimes spreading to 6 inches and beyond!  P. 'huahuapan' is actually a disputed species, probably P. rectifolia, specifically the phenotype from Huahuapan de Leon, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.  This hybrid produces impressive mature plants with enormous leaves and a flower intermediary between its parents, with violet-hued sepals that come together in a deep-purple tinged throat with a white center.  This is an easy Ping to grow.  We recommend full-spectrum grow lights to bring out the very best coloration in all of our Mexican Pings. Otherwise, they  enjoy warm (75-80 F) days and slightly cooler (65-70 F) nights, bright light, moist soil, and relatively high humidity, which is easily accomplished with a pebble tray.  We recommend bottom watering Mexican Pings using distilled or rainwater.  Our Tropical Butterwort Medium is ideal for potting, and they prefer plastic pots that don't accumulate mineral salts as ceramic can.
