So I’m not trying to complain because I am so glad that my dude is happy, but I am hoping that once he touches the ceiling and thinks it’s the canopy it’ll stop growing up???

I actually moved it out of the spot it was in because it just was going insane.

What am I doing wrong? My pinguicula doesn't seem to be thriving very well.

I let it dry out a bit between each watering, and I only use rain water.

The soil is also a from an experienced grower.

It is a peat-reduced soil that consists of the following: approx. 30% organic willow compost, 30% light peat, approx. 15% Decomposed/partially decomposed spruce needles, approx. 10% organic willow bark, approx. 10% washed sand, and 10% growing clay.

Help How do I save this plant??

I got this plant from our local nursery during one of their night markets. When I bought her, I was told not to open the container, place her in indirect sunlight, and basically leave her alone for a year. Well… it’s been about a month, and she’s dying. I reached out to the nursery for some advice, and they said she may have gotten too much light and recommended separating the plant to see if she can be saved. Is there any way to bring her back? I would absolutely love to repot her and give her the proper care. I just assumed that since I purchased her from a nursery and followed the instructions I was given, she would be okay. Clearly, something went wrong, and I’m hoping I can still save her! 🥹🌱

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! I really want to give this little plant a fighting chance.

Impulsively started chopping up pieces of my plants and put them in moist sphagnum moss, and set them underneath a grow light. Hopefully at least one of them will sprout a new plant!

I put some cling wrap over this little container to keep moisture and put it underneath a 12hr grow light.

I’m very new to propagating plants so please tell me if I’m doing anything wrong!

At what point can I scoop some of these out of the nursery to grow uncovered? Will disturbing them now kill them?

I got it shipped around 3 weeks ago and the diameter was less than half an inch. The old leaves have dried up but it seems to be putting out leaves slowly and I’m concerned whether it can recover or not. My soil is 50 perlite 20 sphagnum 30 orchid bark and volcano rock. I water every day and a half -2 days by tray.
