So i have a butterwort in a death cube..and last time i took it out of the death cube it died over night..how do i take it out..i've heard making a small hole and gradually making it bigger to acclimate it to the humidity level..will this work for a butterwort?

You got it. Usually I lift one end and gradually rise it a little more, lowering it if I see the plant wilt a little. You should keep an eye on it during the day for any wilting.

Pinguicual primuliflora like wetter environments and will tolerate being immersed in water. So thatÂs why they get into shock very easily being lucked up in these cups from Gubler.

Good luck!
