Don't let its delicate appearance fool you—Mexican Butterworts, or Pings, are fascinating carnivorous plants that naturally catch tiny fungus gnats and other small insects with their sticky, glistening leaves.
Native to the mountains of Mexico, these compact plants form beautiful rosettes that often resemble succulents. Many varieties also produce vibrant flowers, making them as ornamental as they are functional.
Perfect for sunny windowsills, terrariums, or plant shelves, Pings are a fun conversation piece for both beginner and experienced plant collectors.
☀️ Bright, indirect light to a few hours of gentle morning sun
💧 Water with distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Seriously if you use tap water they will let you know how un-happy they are. I’ve tried and tested this!
🪴 Grow in a mineral-based carnivorous plant mix. Message me and I can give you a recipe or sell you some of ours.
💦 We keep our pings soaked in distilled water 24/7. They can dry out for maybe a day or so, but don’t push it.
Small in size but big in personality, Mexican Butterworts are one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow and a favorite for anyone looking for something a little different.
Those sparkling "dewdrops" on the leaves aren't water—they're sticky glands that help the plant trap tiny insects. Resist the urge to wipe them off—that's exactly how your Ping catches its next meal!
