Venus flytrap, pitcher plant

Pay attention to control the temperature in summer, more than 35 degrees will be prone to rotten roots, avoid high temperature exposure, increase air circulation will reduce the appearance of rotten roots, and because the attached substrate is easy to carry nematodes, this is best to use medicine or use new water moss species after returning, novice species insectivorous is not recommended to mix the substrate with peat, water moss is better. Sufficient light is the key to whether the clamp can close quickly, and moss orchids will also be used, but it is best not to use water moss for orchids, which are of poor quality and easy to rot and deteriorate after waist water, so it is recommended to use intellectual or New Zealand imported moss. There is no need to feed, as long as there is enough light for photosynthesis will grow very well, occasionally it will catch insects by itself, if it is artificially fed must be eaten alive, the dead thing will not struggle after it is closed and will be determined whether it is a dead thing or a living thing according to whether it is a dead thing or a living thing, and the dead will "spit out" after a few hours, and the living insect will continue to struggle before it begins to enter the digestive process.

In summer, the sun is exposed in the morning and evening, avoiding high temperatures, or shade more than 70 percent, and in winter, the temperature where you can spend the winter in the open air, and the flytrap above 0 degrees will not be dormant, but will grow very slowly.

Venus flytrap and pitcher plant are special culture soil for insectivorous plants, generally the soil will die, peat soil plus perlite, no fertilizer!! The soil of the orchid cannot be used, there is fertilizer, and it cannot be fertilized!! Venus flytraps hibernate in winter!

Nepenthes depends on the variety, red bottle 5 degrees or more, Miranda 10 degrees or more, apple 15 degrees or more ......There are also highland species that are more than 10 degrees in winter, and 30 degrees in summer when they are afraid of heat! Don't feed them! High humidity for a week before buying it back!

Set a bag and leave him alone! Watering with rain or pure water, tap water is not OK!! Venus flytraps bask in the sun more, pitcher plants don't bask in summer!!

The temperature difference is good, and you grow strong!

Be patient with this plant!!

Morphological characteristics: Venus flytrap has short stems with regular small spines growing on the edges of the leaves. Predation Patterns:

The leaves secrete nectar to attract insects, and when the prey approaches, the two leaves close to clamp it and digest it. Growing environment: Prefer to grow in an acidic environment with sufficient water and clean water.

Plant characteristics: Venus flytrap is non-poisonous and has many varieties.

1. Morphological characteristics

Native to North America, the flytrap is a perennial herbaceous plant with short and slender stems, shell-like leaves, white or crimson in color, regular thorns growing at the edges, whitish at one end of the connecting stem, and the plant blooms white flowers every summer.

2. Predation methods

Venus flytrap is a rare carnivorous plant, in the process of preying on prey, the leaves will secrete pheromone-containing sap to attract insects and other prey, and when the prey approaches, the two leaves clamp it at a very fast speed, and the small spines on the leaf edge are regularly closed, making it immobile, and then secrete mucus to consume the prey, so as to obtain nutrients.

3. Growth environment

Venus flytraps prefer to grow in an acidic environment with plenty of water and clean water, are adaptable to the environment, have high fecundity, and will contain more than a dozen seeds when the fruit is ripe, and the summer plant will prey on nutrients stored in large quantities for the next year's flowering.

4. Plant characteristics

Although the Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant, it is non-toxic, has no damage to the human body, and does not emit an abnormal smell, so it can be kept indoors as an ornamental potted plant, and there are many varieties of the Venus flytrap, which are commonly used at present, such as baron, toothed flytrap, B52 flytrap, etc.

Venus flytrap, (Dionaea muscipula), English name is Venus flytrap, is a perennial herb native to North America, is a very interesting insectivorous plant, its stem is very short, there is a "shell" like an insect trap at the top of the leaf, and can secrete honey, when a small insect breaks in, it can be clamped at a very fast speed, and digested and absorbed. It is said that the edges of the leaves have regular prickly hairs, which feel like the eyelashes of Venus, which means "Venus's Fly Trap". Chinese and Japanese also have the nickname "hell of flies" for flytraps.

Its main characteristic is that it can quickly close its leaves to prey on insects, which is a carnivorous plant like its distant relative, Nepenthes, and is the only one in the genus Venus Venus in the family Taigaceae, which is a type of vascular plant. Potted plants can be used for sunny window sills and balcony ornamentation, and can also be specially cultivated in planting troughs; Venus flytraps are known as carnivorous plants in nature. Venus flytrap's unique insect trapping ability and cool appearance make it the most popular insectivorous plant in China.
