Sow Mexican Butterwort seeds on the surface of moist, well-draining carnivorous plant soil or peat-based mix. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist using distilled or rainwater. Place the container in bright indirect light. Germination may take 3–6 weeks.

How to Grow

Grow Mexican Butterwort in bright indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Maintain moist soil at all times, avoiding tap water. Keep humidity moderate to high.
