Butterwort Pinguicula primuliflora is a fascinating carnivorous plant known for its sticky, gland-covered leaves that trap and digest small insects. Native to the southeastern United States, it thrives in bright, indirect light and consistently moist conditions—think damp, but not waterlogged. Unlike many other houseplants, it prefers nutrient-poor soil, such as a peat and sand mix, and should be watered with distilled or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup.

Light: Bright, indirect light

Water: Keep soil consistently moist using distilled or rainwater; avoid tap water

Pet safety: Non-toxic, but not intended for consumption

This charming plant is both a conversation piece and a natural gnat catcher, perfect for windowsills or terrariums.
