Why do you cut off the new leaves that grow upright in the summer?

Because new leaves emerge from the center, the outer layer of the leaf gets older. At the base of the outermost petiole sometimes new side buds are also produced. There are two types of petioles of Venus flytraps: some of them are slender and up to 7 16 cm long, and they stretch towards the air; Some flytraps have short, fat petioles that lay flat on the surface.

Because the new leaves are relatively thin and soft, the leaf-shaped clips are relatively small.

If you cut it, it will continue to grow upwards.

Because the trap on the new leaf is too small.

Because that's where it belongs to let them live big.

In order to fly trap grass can grow taller.

Because the more you have, the easier it is to break.

Because these may prevent future developments.

Summary. Hello dear, the longer leaves of the flytrap in summer must be removed in time, otherwise it will endanger the growth of other leaves.

Hello dear, the longer leaves of the flytrap in summer must be removed in time, otherwise it will endanger the growth of other leaves.

Venus flytrap, (Dionaea muscipula), English name is venusflytrap, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to North America, is the only very interesting insectivorous plant in the letter, its stem is very short, there is a "shell" like a "shell" at the top of the leaf, and can secrete honey, when there is a small insect intrusion, can Zen know to clip it at a very fast speed, and eliminate Hetan digestion and absorption.

Venus flytraps reproduce through seeds and belong to seed plants. Venus flytraps can be self-pollinating, but they usually have to be hand-pollinated to actually bear fruit.

When the flowers of the Venus flytrap bloom, not both the female and the stamens mature at the same time. When the flower first blooms, its stamens are ripe, but the pistils are not ripe, and it is useless to pollinate it. Venus flytrap pistils usually ripen a day slower than stamens, so the correct thing to do is to wait for the day after the flowers bloom before pollination.

We can also look at the shape of the pistil to determine whether it is ripe. The stigma at the end of the immature pistil is rounded, and the stigma at the end of the mature pistil will be split open like a cotton flocculent; Only mature pistils can be successfully pollinated.

If pollination is successful, the flowers will wither within 1 2 days, and the ovary (the base of the pistil) will swell, and the fruit will ripen in a few weeks. The seeds of the flytrap are black and teardrop-shaped; A fruit usually contains a dozen seeds. The number of seeds depends on the health and size of the plant, and a strong plant usually bears a little more seeds.

Sometimes the pollination method is correct, but the seeds still do not bear fruit, and the biggest problem is that the Venus flytrap is not strong enough, or it is not continuously given enough light during flowering, and even if it is successfully pollinated, it will be difficult to produce seeds.

If you don't understand, ask again

Indicate the source: This picture was copied by me from the cottage.

For more than 10 years, the insectivorous plants in the Meng Zhiyuan Garden have been getting along with the insectivorous plants day and night, and I will show you the man-eating flower flytrap! The seeds are black sesame droplets, and it is very difficult to raise! It's more interesting to start directly from the seedlings.

Generally, the leaves of the flytrap are yellow, and there are many reasons for this.

1.Potted flytraps, which can be placed indoors in a sunny position, are conducive to photosynthesis and reduce the symptoms of yellow leaves. Move outside for 2-3 days a week, and the sun is better in the morning and evening for 1-2 hours a day.

2.It is usually placed in a sunny and ventilated place indoors to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, and good ventilation is not easy to cause pests and diseases.

3.Usually watering is not easy to be too wet, too wet is easy to cause root rot, produce yellow leaves die, it is best to do dry watering is not easy to cause the symptoms of rotten roots.

About a month to loosen the soil, so that the potting soil is loose, breathable and drainage, which is conducive to the growth of the root system and is not prone to the phenomenon of yellow leaves.

5.At least twice a year, fertilizer should be applied at least twice, 4-5 months, 8-9 months each apply a compound fertilizer, according to the amount of instructions, in order to prevent fertilizer damage caused by excessive fertilizer, fertilizer can be equipped with some mineral additives and other fertilizers are better.

6.Change the pot once a year, you can change the pot after winter or next spring, the main thing is to increase the nutrients in the pot, and it is better to bury some long-lasting base fertilizer at the bottom when changing the pot.

The new leaves are still the old leaves.,The old leaves may be a normal replacement.,It's best to take a look at the last picture, otherwise it's hard to say what's going on.。

The seeds of the point emerge in about a week.

Substrate: Venus flytraps need to be planted with a substrate that has good water retention, acidic or even strong acidity, and has a pH between 3-5. Pure water moss or a mixed substrate of 2 parts peat and 1 part perlite or river sand can be used, and 1 part peat and 1 part perlite or river sand can be used for pot dipping planting.

Moisture: Venus flytraps are sensitive to salt, and high mineral concentrations in water will cause plants to decline until they die, which is manifested as plants growing or becoming smaller, and unaged clips and leaf edges begin to die. Therefore, it is necessary to use water sources with low mineral concentrations.

During the growing season, the substrate can be kept at a high humidity, and it can also be planted in pots, which should be dry but not thorough during the dormant period to prevent the plants from rotting.

Humidity: The air humidity of Venus flytrap should be kept above 50%, and the general planting environment can be satisfied, without special humidification.

Temperature: The suitable temperature for growth is 20-30 degrees, and it will be dormant below 10 degrees (most of the leaves will wither during dormancy, leaving only a few small leaves), and can survive at 0-38 degrees.

Light: Venus flytrap is a light-loving plant, which can accept full sunlight, and the light can make the plant brightly colored, but in summer, in order to avoid high temperatures, it can be properly shaded.

Nutrients: In the growing season, use general compound fertilizers and other dilutions diluted 5,000 times to spray the foliage, 1-2 times a month. Fertilization is better to apply thin fertilizer frequently, do not concentrate too high, so as not to cause serious consequences of fertilizer injury or even fattening, do not fertilize at will without experience.

It can also be fed by feeding insects or raw meat, and the size should be appropriate, so that the clips can completely cover the food, and the number of feeding clips can not exceed 1 3 of the total number of clips.

Diseases: It is easy to rot stems in high temperature in summer, and good ventilation of the environment, root cooling, good light, and large temperature difference between day and night all help to reduce the occurrence of diseases. If the stem is found to be partially rotten, the rotten part should be removed immediately, and then soaked in fungicide for 5 minutes, and then implanted into a clean and sterilized matrix.

Don't know what your seeds ** bought? Because there are a lot of fake seeds, if you buy canned seeds, it's fake, you're a newbie, right? Now the weather temperature is not very high, it must be slow to germinate, and it is best to catch a temperature of more than 25 degrees to be conducive to germination.

Prepare the substrate, peat and moss can be, place the pot or container after wetting, sow the seeds evenly on the surface of the substrate, do not need the substrate to cover, the waist water is stuffy, placed in the astigmatism, germinate within about 1 month, and after germination, it is still stuffy, until it grows to a diameter of 1cm before it can be transplanted to other pots for planting.

It is not recommended for novices to buy seeds directly to raise, or buy seedlings, because the seeds of insectivorous plants are not so easy for novices to sow out, this is not an ordinary plant, and it is particular about all aspects! Start with seedlings and slowly get in touch with them, and then buy seeds and sow seeds, and it will be easy to get started.

I bought the seeds online for a week, and the temperature was between 24 and 27, and there was plastic film already.

The seeds of the Venus flytrap are seeds with a very low survival rate, and the Venus flytrap is generally propagated by cuttings, and it is not recommended to propagate by seeding.

Budding stage: Venus flytrap.

After sowing, the seeds germinate in 1 month. Growing season: New leaves will grow in the spring and will bloom soon.

Ripening: Fruits that bear fruit at the end of spring will ripen in summer. Wilting period:

The leaf lifespan of the flytrap is only 2-3 months in autumn, and the old leaves will gradually turn yellow, lose the ability to catch insects, and finally die.

1. Embryonic stage

Venus flytrap can only grow if it is sown first, and it is necessary to choose the seeds collected in the year for no more than 3 months when planting, and soak it in water for about 48 hours before sowing to improve the germination rate, and generally germinate in 1 month, and then begin to grow.

2. Growth period

Venus flytraps grow new leaves in the spring and bloom soon after, with stems up to 15-25 cm long and about 10 buds at the top, which bloom every 1 day with a white color that withers the next day if 1 flower is successfully pollinated.

3. Maturity period

After flowering, the Venus flytrap grows more leaves and larger insect traps in the summer, which is the stage when the plant needs a lot of predation to store nutrients in preparation for the next year's flowering, and the fruit that bears at the end of spring will mature by summer.

4. Wilting period

The leaf lifespan of the flytrap is only 2-3 months in autumn, the old leaves will gradually turn yellow, lose the ability to catch insects, and finally the color will turn black and die, but the new leaves will continue to grow from the center, and in winter, the leaves on the ground will wither.
