Pinguicula sp. Tonalá ANPA “A”

Pinguicula sp. Tonalá ANPA “A” is a Mexican butterwort originating from the Tonalá region of Oaxaca, where it grows in seasonally variable conditions with bright light and well-drained substrates. This form is appreciated for its soft green, spoon-shaped leaves and tidy rosette structure that stays attractive year-round.

As a carnivorous plant, its sticky leaves naturally trap small insects, making it both functional and fascinating to observe. Easygoing, responsive to care, and quick to settle in, this species is a joy to grow and a great introduction to Mexican Pinguicula—while still being interesting enough for seasoned collectors.
