How to raise pitcher plants? Summary of pitcher plant pictures

The pitcher plant can prey on insects and its unique appearance is inseparable. Each leaf of the pitcher plant grows an insect cage, which is specially used to hunt insects. The pitcher plant secretes narcotic honey to attract insects, and the insects fall into the cage after anesthesia and are digested by digestive juice. This is the predation process of pitcher plants.

The pitcher plant has no dormant period, and the basic requirements for its growth are light, humidity, moisture, temperature, nutrients and growth matrix.

Growth habits of ◆ pitcher plants: there are many species of pitcher plants, about 120 species in the world. Among them, it is divided into highland species and lowland species, highland species prefer cold, cool and humid, do not avoid high temperature during the day, and must be maintained at about 15 ℃ at night; lowland species like warm and humid.

Light and temperature management of ◆ pitcher plants: light is one of the most important factors in growing large, bright insect traps. All-day notes darken the color of plants and hinder their growth. Bright astigmatism is more suitable for pitcher plants. Provide enough air humidity, medium soil moisture and enough light to make the leaves as red as red wine. The suitable growth temperature of pitcher plant is 25-30 ℃, 21-30 ℃ from March to September, and 18-24 ℃ from September to March of the following year. The winter temperature is no less than 16 ℃.

Water management of ◆ pitcher plants: pitcher plants do not have high requirements for water content in the cultivation medium, and usually do not like the cultivation medium which is too wet and airtight. When growing pitcher plants, it is necessary to keep the soil moist at all times. The matrix should not extrude water and be loose. Timely supply of high-quality soft water for pitcher plants is more beneficial to its growth.

Humidity management of ◆ pitcher plants: the humidity of the air is the key to whether the pitcher plants can produce bottles normally. To improve air humidity, you can use transparent plastic bags to cover the pitcher plant, you can easily get a high humidity environment. In addition, put the pitcher plant in the aquarium or in the corner to reduce ventilation and the humidity will increase. As long as the new trap grows out, try to gradually reduce the air humidity and make the pitcher plant suitable for a drier environment.

Substrate management of ◆ pitcher plants: pitcher plants like to be loose enough and well drained, and can fully retain water to provide sufficient water substrate for plants. Based on coconut shell, the mixed matrix of sawdust, perlite or pure water moss is very suitable for pitcher plants. Water moss is not only a suitable substrate for the growth of pitcher plants, but also a sign of whether the planting environment is suitable for the growth of pitcher plants.

Fertilization management of ◆ pitcher plants: if pitcher plants are preyed on by insects, there is no need to apply fertilizer. However, when cultivated indoors, there are usually not enough insects to be caught by pitcher plants, instant foliar fertilizer can be used, and non-slow release fertilizers should not be applied directly to the soil. It should be noted that pitcher plants are insectivorous plants that already have the ability to obtain nutrients by catching insects or small animals. It doesn't hurt to want to be fed manually, but it is not recommended to feed too many or too large insects, such as cockroaches. Because it takes weeks for large insects to be completely digested, the rancid smell emitted during this period can be unbearable.

Diseases and insect pests of ◆ pitcher plants: pitcher plants are easy to get leaf spot, root rot, sunburn and so on. The harm of leaf spot and root rot is more serious.
