Pinguicula kondoi belongs to the tropical heterophyllous growth type of the genus. The leaves of the winter rosette are flat, spoon-shaped, 4.5 to 5 millimeters long and 3.5 to 4 millimeters wide. They become more and more spatulate towards the inside. The leaves of the summer rosette are typically purely spatulate, 15 to 20 millimeters long and 3 to 7 millimeters wide.
The plant forms up to four inflorescence axes, these are 30 to 65 millimeters long and covered with stalk glands. The calyx lobes are elongated-round to spatulate, blunt and densely glandular. The corolla tube is long, cylindrical, but widened in a funnel shape at the throat, 8 millimeters long and 3 to 4 millimeters wide. The pale purple or white terminal crown is clearly darkly nerved and hardly lipped, the corolla lobes are approximately circular and 4 to 5 millimeters long and wide. The short, slender spur is 3.5 to 4.5 millimeters long. The multicellular tubular hairs are occasionally two-lobed.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 22.
