How to raise pitcher plants

I. temperature

Pitcher plant, like a relatively high temperature environment, in the state of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, it grows more exuberantly. Pitcher plants hardly grow when the weather is colder. In order to avoid freezing to death, pitcher plants need to be warmed up.

2. Moisture

Pitcher plants need a lot of water. If the temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius, water should be watered 2 to 3 times a day. If possible, spray water vapor on the branches and leaves of pitcher plants, and be sure to keep the soil moist.

Third, lighting

Although the pitcher plant likes the sun, it is afraid of strong light, so we should pay attention to sunscreen in summer, but we should also be careful not to bask in too little, otherwise the pitcher plant will grow slowly, and the pig cage is small or even without a pig cage.

IV. Soil

Pitcher plants like loose and well-drained soil that can retain water at the same time, and the most suitable one is based on coconut shells and mixed with sawdust and perlite.

Breeding pitcher plants should pay attention to sunlight, temperature control, moisture regulation, soil selection, occasionally apply fertilizer, loosen the soil, of course, in order to better let pitcher plants grow, here are some points for attention.

Merr. Pitcher plants and pitcher plants belong to erect or climbing herbs, with dense basal leaves, subsessile and semi-clasping stems at the base. Pitcher plant, alias: pitcher plant, monkey courtyard, Latin name: Nepenthes mirabilis (Lour.) Merr. Pitcher plants and pitcher plants belong to erect or climbing herbs with dense basal leaves, subsessile leaves and semi-clasping stems at the base; pitcher plants are a variety of pitcher plants and are unique to tropical insectivorous plants at an altitude of 1600m in Sumatra. Its species name adjective comes from Greek, "eu" means "real", "stachys" means "spike", referring to its raceme structure. The shape of the lower cage is similar to that of the upper cage; it is usually white to light pink and reddish spots; the wings of the cage are degenerated so that even the lower cage is not obvious; the cover is almost round. Leaf blade leathery with stalk, petiole tubular, almost without petiole wings. Mature parts of the plant glabrous. It grows on cliffs or steep slopes with open and sunny edges of the forest. Natural hybrids have been found about it. Latin name: Nepenthes eustachya kingdom: phylum Angiospermae: Magnoliophyta class: dicotyledonous class Magnoliopsida: Caryophyllaceae: family Caryophyllales: pitcher plant family Nepenthaceae: pitcher plant genus Nepenthes species: true ear pitcher plant name and time: Miq. 18581. Introduction to plants in 1856, John Elyas Terjusmann (Johannes Elias Teijsmann) first collected pitcher plants from the coast near Sibolga, Sumatra, and the specimen number was "Teijsmann 18581". Matthew Jeb (Matthew Jebb) and Martin Chik (Martin Cheek) designated this specimen as the type specimen in their 1997 monograph. The specimen is deposited in the herbarium of Bogor Botanical Garden (Bogor Botanical Gardens). In 1858, Frederick Friedrich Miquel described the true spike pitcher plant. In 1908, John Muirhead McFarland (John Muirhead Macfarlane) classified the true ear pitcher plant as an independent genus under the pitcher plant family. B. H. Danser does not agree with this point of view. In his pioneering monograph, the pitcher plant of the Dutch East Indies (The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies) published in 1928, the pitcher plant is actually a synonym of the pterygoid pitcher plant (N. alata). He wrote: "in McFarlane's monograph, it is believed that pterygoid pitcher plants have cage covers, while true panicle pitcher plants do not, so they are divided into two species. But apart from that, there is almost no difference between the two species, and their inflorescences are strikingly similar. " In addition, B H Dancer classified the specimen numbered "Ridley 16097" collected to West Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia) as pterygoid pitcher plant. He classified pitcher plants as pterygoid plants to explain why the typical pitcher plant does not appear in Borneo, while the specimen of "Ridley 16097" is from West Malaysia. In 1999, the specimen of "Ridley 16097" was confirmed to be an independent species-the pitcher plant (N. benstonei). Subsequently, a large number of scholars classified true ear pitcher plants as winged pitcher plants, including Shigeo Kurata in 1973, Rusjdi Tamin and Mitsuru Hotta in 1986 and Mike Mike Hopkins, Ricky Maulder and Bruce Salmon in 1990. In 1997, Matthew Jeb and Martin Cheek noticed a large number of differences between the two groups, so they once again regarded the pitcher plant as a separate species. Charles Clark (Charles Clarke) also supports this view in his monograph, the pitcher plant in Sumatra and West Malaysia (Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia). The scientific name of the pitcher plant (N. eustachya) has been misspelled many times in various documents, including Otto Stapf as "N. eustachys" in 1886 and Jacob Heisbert Borraj (Jacob Gijsbert Boerlage) as "N. eustachia" in 1900. 2. Morphological characteristics erect or climbing herbs, 0.5-2 meters high. Basal leaves dense, subsessile, base semi-clasping; leaf blade lanceolate, ca. 10 cm, margin with ciliary teeth; tendrils shorter than leaf blade; bottle bodies of different sizes, ca. 2-6 cm, narrowly ovate or subcylindrical, sparsely pilose and stellate hairy, 2-winged, margin ciliate, bottle cap 2-8 spaced, bottle cap ovate or subrounded, with nearly round glands on the inner surface. Cauline leaves scattered, stipitate, leaf blade oblong or lanceolate, 10-25 cm long, base decurrent, entire or with ciliary teeth, often with purplish red spots on both sides, midvein with 4-8 longitudinal veins on each side; tendrils ca. As long as leaf blade, bottle-shaped or not. The bottle body is 8-16 cm long, sparsely hairy, bifurcated and stellate, with 2 longitudinal ribs, subcylindric, slightly enlarged in the lower part, narrowed or not at the mouth, about 0.2-0.4 cm wide, the upper part of the inner wall is smooth, the lower half densely bears bird's nest glands, with 1-2 spur; the bottle cap is ovate or oblong, and the inner surface is densely nearly round glands. Racemes 20-50 cm long, villous, opposite or terminal to leaves; pedicel 0.5-1.5 cm long; tepals 4, red to purplish red, elliptic or oblong, abaxially pilose, ventral densely covered with suborbicular glands; male flowers: tepals 0.5-0.7 cm long, staminal column with 1 whorl of anthers, slightly twisted; female flowers: tepals 0.4-0.5 cm long. Ovary elliptic, shortly stipitate or subsessile, densely yellowish pilose or stellate hairy. Capsule chestnut, 0.5-3 cm long, valves 4, narrowly lanceolate; seeds filiform, ca. 1.2 cm. The flowering period is from April to November and the fruiting period is from August to December. The true ear pitcher plant is a vine. The stem can be up to 5 m in length and 0.8 cm in diameter. The distance between internodes can reach 12 cm. Leaf blade leathery with stalk. Into an oval to lanceolate, can be as long as 20cm, wide as 5cm. The end of the leaf blade is slightly concave, making the leaf occasionally shield-shaped. Petiole tubular, not decurrent, usually without petiole wings. The petiole covers about half of the perimeter of the stem. There are 2-4 longitudinal veins on each side of the midrib. The pinnate vein is oblique from the midrib. Cage vines can be as long as 15 cm. The lower 1/4 of the lower cage is oval and the rest of the upper part is cylindrical, which is often enlarged near the mouth of the cage. It can be as high as 20 cm and 4 cm wide. The inner surface of the oval part of the lower cage is covered with digestive glands. The cage wings degenerated into a pair of bulges. The mouth of the cage is round and inclined. Lips can be up to 5 mm wide, with blurred lips and teeth on the inner edge. The cage cover is almost round and has no appendages. Behind the base of the cover, there is a caged tail that can be up to 4 mm long, usually binary. Most of the morphological features of the upper cage are similar to those of the lower cage. The body is usually larger, and the upper part of the cage is closer to the funnel shape. The inflorescence of pitcher plant is a raceme. The pedicel can be as long as 40 cm and the flower axis can be as long as 30 cm. Secondary pedicel with 1-2 flowers, ebracteate. Sepals are lanceolate, up to 4 mm long. The young part of the plant is covered with sparse white indumentum, most of which are easy to fall off. Mature parts of the plant glabrous. The stems and leaves of pitcher plants are green. The cage is white to light pink with reddish spots. The lower surface of the cage is usually darker than the trap. Lips are usually yellow and have red stripes. 3. Growth habits are born in shrubs, grasslands or forests on moors, roadsides, hillsides and hilltops at an altitude of 50-400 meters. 4. it is geographically distributed in the west and south of Guangdong. This species can adapt to a variety of environments, so it is widely distributed and can be produced from Indo-China Peninsula in Asia to northern Oceania. The type specimens were collected from Vietnam. 5. Taxonomic angiosperm phylum; dicotyledon class; pitcher plant order; pitcher plant family; pitcher plant genus; pitcher plant. 6. The varieties of true ear pitcher plant are distributed in North Sumatra (North Sumatra) and West Sumatra (West Sumatra) provinces of Indonesia. It exists in the area between Sibolga (Shiwuya) and Padang Highlands (Badong Highland) at an altitude of 011600m. Pitcher plants usually grow on open and sunny cliffs or steep slopes on the edge of the forest. It grows only in sandy soil and often occurs in exposed stone crevices. It is common in the range from Shiwuya to Dalu Cave (Tarutung) in North Sumatra. The distribution of true ear pitcher plant is close to that of many other lowland pitcher plants, including white pitcher plant (N. albomarginata), apple pitcher plant (N. ampullaria), small pitcher plant (N. gracilis), longleaf pitcher plant (N. longifolia) and Sumatra pitcher plant (N. sumatrana). Their natural hybrids with these pitcher plants have been found. The pitcher plant has been listed in the 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Red list of Endangered species of the World Conservation Union (IUCN), and the grade is non-endangered (Least Concern). 7. Cultivation techniques there are natural hybrids between the natural hybrid pitcher plant and many other pitcher plant species that live in the same area. Including white ring pitcher plant, long-leaf pitcher plant, apple pitcher plant, small pitcher plant and Sumatran pitcher plant. White ring pitcher plant and true spike pitcher plant are mixed and distributed in many areas of Badang Highland and Tapanuli. Natural hybrids between them seem to be more common in the Tjampo River in West Sumatra. In his 1998 monograph, the pitcher plant of Sumatra and West Malaysia (Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia), Charles Clark showed a picture of a young plant of a natural hybrid of white pitcher plant and true pitcher plant, which was observed by Clark in Bukit Kambut Mountain in West Sumatra. This natural hybrid grows in secondary vegetation at an altitude of 900m, which includes pitcher plants. The natural hybrid was later destroyed, but Clark and Troy Troy Davis found a large number of distributions in Bukit Tjampo. The natural hybrid grows in dense fern clusters at an altitude of about 750m, including Dicranopteris linearis and Dipteris sp. Natural hybrids of white pitcher plants and true ear pitcher plants usually have red leaves and insect traps. It also has the characteristic white band of pitcher plant under the lip. Like the common true ear pitcher plant, the leaves of its natural hybrids are almost completely glabrous, and its petiole is subpetiole, which is wider than that of the white pitcher plant. The mature plant of this natural hybrid has not been observed, so the morphology of epistatic cage and inflorescence is still unclear. Crossing with long-leaf pitcher plants, natural hybrids of true-spike pitcher plants and long-leaf pitcher plants have been found in some areas where both true-spike pitcher plants and long-leaf pitcher plants are distributed, such as Payakumbuh and Shiwuya. But this natural hybrid is rare because the distribution of the pitcher plant is obviously different from that of the long-leaf pitcher plant, which usually grows in sunny open areas, while the latter is more common in dense dark forests. The difference between this natural hybrid and the pitcher plant is that it has a short reddish-brown indumentum at the edge of its leaves. The anterior part of the lip has a characteristic bulge similar to the long-leaf pitcher plant. 8. Main value Medicinal value it is reported that this kind of medicine has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving cough, diuresis and reducing blood pressure.

It gets its name because it is widely distributed near Lake dopa. Dopa pitcher plant (scientific name: Nepenthes tobaica), also known as Dongba pitcher plant, is a tropical insectivorous plant endemic to Sumatra. It gets its name because it is widely distributed near Lake dopa. Scientific name: Nepenthes tobaica: plant kingdom: phylum angiosperm: dicotyledonous plant outline: pitcher plant family: pitcher plant genus: pitcher plant species: Doba pitcher plant distribution area: Sumatra 1, brief introduction of Doba pitcher plant and angasang pitcher plant (N. angasanensis), small pitcher plant (N. gracilis), There is a close relationship between Mike pitcher plant (N. mikei) and two-eyed pitcher plant (N. reinwardtiana). 2. Ecological relationship Doba pitcher plant is endemic to Sumatra. Its natural distribution was once thought to be as far as Gayo Lands in Aceh province in the north and Daludong in the south. At the end of the 20th century, a new distribution of the species was discovered farther south. It includes Mount Sorik Merapi and a high-altitude peat bog near Lake Glinchi in Zhanbei Province. According to the low-altitude native land near Shiwuya and the high-altitude native land of Panchulu Baoshan, Charles Clark concluded that its altitude range is 380 to 1800 meters. But according to Matthew Jeb and Martin Chik, dopa pitcher plants can grow up to 2750 meters above sea level.
