What are Butterworts? (Pinguicula, or "Pings")

You're probably aware of Venus Flytraps, and perhaps Pitcher Plants and Sundews...but what are Butterworts (Pinguicula, or "Pings")? Join Howard of Brambles Botanicals as he covers some of the general information on butterworts and why they're so much fun to grow! For the last 6 or 7 years, Brambles Botanicals has specialized in growing and hybridizing tropical Pings, from their latin name Pinguicula, which means "little greasy one." (But if you try using Google Translate, it's going to give you "little fat.") Pings have sticky, slimy leaves that catch small prey like fungus gnats or mosquitos, though on rare occasions they can catch larger prey like flies and moths. So, if you already grow houseplants and have a problem with pests like fungus gnats, pings can help keep populations under control. There are currently 126 accepted species of Butterwort growing wild all over the world, with the exceptions of Australia and Antarctica. They’re extremely beautiful and variable, ranging in size from a small coin to a dinner plate, and in colors from green to red to purple, with variations like veining or blush. They have beautiful flowers that come in a variety of colors, sizes, and shapes. They can grow on all sorts of surfaces like living walls or the video-featured fountain display, made by our friend Christina in Oregon, IG: @_christinanina_86. You can hybridize pings and grow new plants from seeds, or, similar to succulents, you can make more pings with leaf pullings. But be warned - pings can be addictive. They’re very collectable and tradeable. There’s more than one way to be consumed by carnivorous plants... In the next video we’ll cover beginner-level ping care and give a few recommendations for great starter options.
