The Orchid Room's video: Propagating Pinguicula Leaf Pulling Method Plantlet Giveaway Houseplant Fungus Gnat Control

Hi everyone! It's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! Today I thought it would be fun to show anyone who is less familiar, an easy way to propagate pinguicula, using the leaf pulling method. You can see a more detailed video on my carnivorous plants here: https://youtu.be/K-mqxtKUXqY Pinguicula, or Butterworts (specifically the Mexican types) are fantastic orchid and houseplant companion plants for natural, easy and effective fungus gnat control. Since getting them, I no longer have fungus gnat issues really. They are so effective! And cute, and the flowers are just lovely! Propagating them to increase your fungus gnat fighting arsenal is also super easy! In this video I show you my preferred method for propagating lots, but in general they propagate themselves if left alone also, so this is really just if you want to make some plants to give to friends or for a different area of your house. I'm then doing a giveaway of the successfully propagated Pinguicula plantlets, open to anyone in the UK or EU, that I can post to for now. To enter just comment down below saying you would like to enter the giveaway, and if you have a preference for the variety that you would like! I'll be doing a larger, thankyou orchid giveaway soon, which will be international, so stay tuned for that when I can get it organised!
