P. gypsicola pics,
I have been told that gypsicola needs a long dry period, but I keep mine damp to wet all year long and it goes in and out of winter stage with no problems.

Eh...how they digest?Won't the digestive juices spill all over?

Re: P. gypsicola pics
 

no no

on pinguicula you have 2 glands

one to catch the insect it is the mucilage ( sticky)
and an other to digest these one .

in fact it is the same system like drosera-drosophyllum-byblis
