How to cultivate flycatcher culture methods and matters needing attention

Venus flytrap It is a kind of "carnivorous plant", can be described as a fighter in plants, its breeding methods are generally divided into two categories: stocking and stuffy, but whether it is stocking or stuffy, its requirements for care and soil are relatively high, today we will work together and Xiaobian to understand the breeding methods and precautions of Venus flytrap.

How to raise Venus flytrap

A lot of flower friends in the cultivation of Venus flytrap when more than waist water cultivation method to cultivate, in this method of maintenance when special attention needs to be paid to the summer high temperature, into the fruit waist water chassis by strong sunlight, this will make the plate water temperature rise rapidly, was sunburned hot water through the basin bottom is absorbed to the medium surface evaporation, moisture and can not be taken away from the roots of the plant, this is the cause of Venus flytrap "rotten root" The main cause.

Then we need to adjust the cultivation medium appropriately, choose the medium that retains water, ventilates, and improves heat dissipation. The medium is as follows:

A quarter of the bottom of the basin is placed with coarse stone or foam block, sponge block (absorbing water while maintaining ventilation). The upper layer can use 100% pure water moss or 40% medium or fine red jade soil or 20% peat soil mixed with 20% red jade soil (locking moisture and maintaining humidity).

60% of medium and fine grained mixed phytolith or 30% of medium and fine grained mixed phytolith 30% of medium grained king stone (providing too much water after mixing with red jade soil, so that the upper layer of mixed medium still maintains good permeability) Waist water 1/4 basin up and down. Summer temperatures above 30 degrees C should be shaded by 50% or placed in soft, bright scattered light.

Venus flytrap breeding methods and precautions

I. Breeding methods

1, lighting requirements

Plenty of light makes Venus flytrap grow stronger. At least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day is required. If the light is not enough, the inner clip will grow small and the petiole will be slender. If the light is heavy, it may cause the death of the plant. If there is a lack of sunlight in winter, you can use a fill light.

2. Moisture requirements

Try to use purified water, rainwater and other soft water. The basin dipping method (also known as the "waist water" method) creates a small environment similar to the original place.

3, humidity requirements

The humidity should be large, because the original environment of Venus flytrap is swamp grassland, so if it is cultivated at home, it is necessary to create a similar environment. Specific practices can be used to make waist water, which will increase the humidity around the plant, or you can add a layer of moss on its topsoil, which is also helpful to maintain air humidity.

4. Soil requirements

Venus flytrap likes acidic environments. Therefore, it is best to maintain the acidity of the matrix at pH 3.5 -5. Peat without added fertilizer and pearlite (2:1) or pure water moss are good substrate choices, and the substrate should be replaced every spring.

5. Temperature requirements

Growth temperature 15℃~35℃, the most suitable temperature: 21~35℃, if you want it to dormancy, you can control the temperature at about 5℃ (0~8℃).

II. Precautions

1. Feeding

Venus flytrap grows on organic matter produced by photosynthesis during the day and a small amount of inorganic salts. And eating insects is like fertilizing. You can make them grow faster, but really not too much, too often. Human favorite foods like chicken and beef are difficult for them to digest.

2. Fertilization

Direct application of fertilizer to the substrate leads to plant death because insectivorous plant roots are extremely salt intolerant. Therefore, if you want to fertilize, you should choose a low concentration of liquid fertilizer sprayed on the leaves.

Breeding method of Venus flytrap

1. Leaf insertion: peel off the whole leaf from the mother plant, insert it obliquely or lay it flat on clean substrate such as moss, keep high humidity and bright light, and sprout in about 2 months.

2, ramets: Venus flytrap will often grow side buds, when grown large enough, the bulb of the ramets will naturally separate from the mother plant, at this time can be dug for separate cultivation or in the time of pot change planting separately. (Sometimes buds grow on flower stems and can be cultivated as ramets.)

3, sowing: Venus flytrap seeds should be sown as soon as possible after harvest, the longer the germination rate will decrease, the preservation time should not exceed 6 months (most of the domestic sales of Venus flytrap seeds are fake, please note!). The suitable temperature for sowing is 15-30 degrees Celsius. The seeds are directly scattered on the surface of moist and clean substrate (pure water moss or mixed peat can be used). The surface is not covered with soil or covered with fine peat or fine jade soil 1-3 mm high to help fix the root system. Maintain high humidity and bright light (the bottom of the pot can be kept moist). Germination takes about one month. Seedlings grow slowly, grow into adult plants after 3-5 years, and can live for decades.

The watering method of Venus flytrap

1. Choice of water

When watering it, you can't take it directly from the water, which is also something you can't do when watering most plants. Of course, we can choose bottled water, but it is too expensive to do so. After all, we have to use it frequently. An economical and simple way is to leave tap water outside for a while before watering it. In this way, the substances in the water that are not conducive to their health will be evaporated by the sun.

How to determine if water is needed

Many novices think it needs a lot of moisture to grow properly, so much so that they water it every day. However, this is the wrong approach, as long as we ensure that the soil can be moist in daily life, if it is to maintain a larger humidity during germination. It is best to choose the watering time after evening. Summer temperature is higher under the circumstances can not be watered too much, at this time it is unable to absorb water, which will let its roots rot, serious will also die.

3. Waist water

This is very beneficial for breeding it. The so-called waist water is to put a water tray at the bottom of the basin. The height of the water in the water tray is preferably 1 cm to 2 cm, so that it can maintain its humidity, but if the temperature is high, the water tray should be removed.

To sum up, Venus flytrap reproductive ability is still very strong, if you want to make it more, you can take the above two breeding methods, but if you want to make it grow better, in the watering and fertilization above or pay more attention, at the same time on the choice of water also has its certain requirements.
