Re: Pinquiculas
No problems Eric. Singly is best, it's worth noting they live in open grassland in habitat and not nutrient deprived peat bogs like other carnivorous plants like Drosera and Sarracenia tend to. Hence the use of JI to assist growth. Mine tend to grow and look like cabbages by the end of the season.

Re: Pinquiculas
Thanks Mike, so it's potting up singly, and a better compost for me this year. I have had these plants for many years and obviously not growing them to their true potential. Thanks for your help.

Re: Pinquiculas
I wouldn't transplant them until winter Eric, they are sensitive to root disturbance and you need to transplant when they are dormant. Expose them to sun, stand in shallow water and keep them warm and they should get you through the year. I suggest adding a low nitrogen fertiliser to their water once a month and you should see them perk up. You've got the basis for a nice set of plants.

Re: Pinquiculas
I have transplanted mine at this time of year with care and had no problems. As long as they aren’t in full leaf it should be fine

Re: Pinquiculas
I've grown a few of these for years to help keep the sciarid flies down. I've learnt a lot from this thread, thanks!
