I bought at Lowes one of those cubes with a D Adelae which I repotted.
I also got from ebay 2 Pinguicula Moctezumae.
Is it ok to keep them in the same container or tray with an inch of distilled water? Or it will make the Ping rot?
I found a lot of info about the Drosera and other Pinguiculas but I am confused about the one I have if it should be more "dry" than the Drosera...
I got them to maybe deal with gnats near my orchids. |

| The ping I believe should NOT be in a water tray. I keep mine out of water trays and just keep the soil moist. The Adelae can and needs to go in a water tray. |

thanks -
I use an Ikea clear container as a high "walled" tray. if i keep both in the same container with the Drosera in the water and the Pinguicula on top of a flat stone or small brick above the water level would be okay? doesnt the mexican Ping Moctezumae require high humidity? |

| Be careful about the brick, it may leach minerals into the water. |

thanks - that isis smart thinking...
do you think if i use some small ikea metal pot upside down [ steel or aluminum i guess] would leak metal to the water?
what could i use? |

Tommy... I have a straight up P. moctezumae and it is clearly the worst looking ping that I have. What works for them?
 All of the hybrids with this species are contrastingly vigorous, but the species itself is struggles. |

| Turn it over and dump everything out holding the plastic liner and pot firmly. Then cut the plastic liner or frame or whatever it's called with scissors. |
