Preferred Growing Conditions:

Light: Thrives in partial sunlight outdoors, or under LED lights for 10-14 hours if indoors.

Soil: Requires well-draining, nutrient-poor media for optimal drainage. Pinguicula ehlersiae appreciates drier and more airy growing media.

Humidity: Adaptable to various humidity levels, making it suitable for a range of environments.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist by using a tray method. Use low-mineral water like rain, RO, or distilled water.

Temperature: Ideally thrives in temperatures between 50-90°F.

Dormancy: Pinguicula 'Pirouette' does not require strict dormancy periods, however, it may go into a "succulent phase" in the winter where it produces non-carnivorous leaves.
