How to domesticate the flytrap, the cultivation method of the flytrap

What is there to domesticate Venus flytrap?

1. Preparation of soil: It is best to choose slightly acidic soil with drainage and ventilation for planting Venus flytrap. 2. Environmental conditions:

Keep the flytrap in a sunny environment and ensure that the temperature does not fall below 5 degrees in winter. 3. Water requirements: Put the Venus flytrap in water along with the flower pot to keep it moist.

4. Reasonable fertilization: apply decomposed liquid fertilizer every half month.

1. Prepare soil

In order to breed a lush Venus flytrap, it is necessary to choose a well-drained, fertile and loose acidic soil as a substrate, and you can also mix it with an appropriate amount of perlite and humus, and then water the soil with carbendazim solution for disinfection and sterilization.

2. Environmental conditions:

Venus flytrap likes the sun, to be maintained in a sunny place, if it encounters continuous rainy weather, it can be moved into the indoor light, to ensure that it receives 8 hours of light irradiation every day, and it likes to grow in a warm environment, the most suitable temperature is 21-35 degrees, and the winter temperature is lower than 5 degrees when it needs to be cold and warm.

3. Moisture requirements

Venus flytraps thrive in moist conditions, and when watering, the plants can be placed in water along with the pots to allow them to absorb the water, and when the air is too dry, the leaves can be sprayed with water.

4. Reasonable fertilization

Venus flytraps need fertilizer to replenish nutrients during their growth, apply a well-rotted liquid fertilizer every half a month, and pour it slowly along the edge of the pot to avoid getting close to the roots, causing root rot, and to keep the soil acidic, apply ferrous sulfate every 15-30 days.

When propagating the Venus flytrap by cuttings, it is necessary to cut off the insect trap of the plant together with the branches, and it is also necessary to prepare loose and fertile soil with good drainage and air permeability as the cultivation medium, and it is also necessary to place the Venus flytrap in a bright place, and after waiting for a week, the Venus flytrap can grow new shoots.

1. Reproduction method

The best cutting time of Venus flytrap is in March-April in spring and August-September in autumn every year, because the temperature and humidity at this time are the most suitable for plant growth, which can improve the survival rate of Venus flytrap, but the specific cutting time also needs to be adjusted according to the local climate state.

2. Branch selection

When propagating the Venus flytrap by cuttings, it is necessary to choose the right branches, which can be cut from the lush mother plant with an insect trap, and then smeared on the branches with the diluted potassium permanganate solution to disinfect and sterilize the plants to avoid the plant being infected by diseases, and then the Venus flytrap can be placed in a ventilated and dry place for drying.

3. Soil conditions

Venus flytrap is suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil, and when propagating flytrap by cuttings, it is necessary to use humus, perlite, garden soil, and vermiculite in 2:1:1:1:

The soil prepared by the mixture of 1 ratio is used as a cultivation medium, and a certain amount of basal fertilizer needs to be applied to the soil to make the soil more loose and fertile, and increase the rooting rate of Venus flytrap.

4. Cutting method

When propagating the flytrap by cuttings, you need to carefully insert the branches into the soil, water them again, make the potting soil moist, and then move the flytrap to a bright place, and you need to use a kettle or sprayer to spray water around the flytrap and on the ground to increase the humidity of the air and promote the flytrap to take root and sprout.

Venus flytraps can be propagated by seeds, which are pollinated and preserved in a dry environment for a period of time before being planted the following year. It can also be propagated by leaf cuttings and dividing, which reduces the time it takes for seeds to germinate.

1. Seed propagation

The Venus flytrap is pollinated like a centipede, and the plants will bear fruit, and the next fruit will be picked off, placed in a cool and ventilated environment, and the fruit can be preserved after drying, and the seeds with full particles should be selected for sowing when planting in the following year, and more fertile soil should be selected, which can effectively promote the germination and growth of the plant.

2. Propagation by leaf cuttings

Venus flytrap leaf cuttings are generally propagated in late spring and early summer, you can choose the branches with better growth, put them in a cool and ventilated environment after plucking, insert them into the prepared pot after the wound is dry, and then place them in a cool and ventilated environment to wait for the leaves to take root and sprout.

3. Dividing propagation

Venus flytrap ramets should choose the side buds with better growth, pick them off with disinfection tools, separate them from the mother plant for separate cultivation, and then carry out disinfection and sterilization to avoid the infection of pests and diseases due to poor growth after the plant leaves the mother plant, and it should also be placed in a ventilated environment for growth after transplantation.

4. Precautions

There are many ways to grow and reproduce Venus flytrap, it takes a long time to sow and reproduce, but the survival rate is relatively high, it can germinate effectively, leaf cuttings propagation and branch propagation can save the growth time of Venus flytrap, and then the flower pot of Venus flytrap is placed in a cool and ventilated environment to feed.
