How to raise mosquito traps

Mosquito catcher is a carnivorous plant. It attracts mosquitoes and flies into its claw-like leaves by emitting odors, and then closes them, catching them and digesting them with its secretions. So how do you raise mosquito traps?

I. Soil

Mosquitoes grow well in acidic soils. If potted, change the soil once a year to make sure the soil is acidic.

II. Watering

Mosquito catchers like to live in a humid environment and need to be watered properly. It is recommended to water them in the morning and evening of the day, without watering too much water at a time to avoid rotten roots.

III. Feeding insects

If there are not many insects in the place where mosquito catching grass is planted, you can go to the flower and bird fish market to buy bread insects to feed. However, it should be noted that there are actually two thorns inside the leaves of mosquito catching grass. Whenever the prey touches the two thorns at the same time, it can close, and only one is not closed.

Mosquito catching grass can not be exposed to the sun, otherwise it is easy to lack water, which may lead to yellowing of leaves, or even dry and die.
