Watering requires the use of low mineral content of water (such as Rain Water, pure water, etc.); cold and heat resistance, especially the roots to keep cold, there should be a large temperature difference between day and night; like strong light, in the temperature is not too high, can accept sunlight, the top of the plant will show a red net pattern, very beautiful; if you need fertilization, you can spray more than 1x5 of the indicated concentration.

Planting method

Survival temperature:-10-30

Suitable temperature: 15-27

Cultivation substrate: peat, water moss, perlite, sand, etc.

Ambient humidity: > 50%

The native cobra bottle grass is one of the insectivorous plants that are difficult to cultivate. It requires higher daytime temperature and lower night temperature. Its native place is a swamp or river bank that has cold mountain springs flowing into it all the year round, and the root can keep a low temperature. Therefore, the best simulation method in cultivation is to cultivate in cool pure water. Ice can be placed on the surface of the soil to cool down when the weather is hot. In a high humidity and warm environment, plants can be given sufficient sunshine; if the humidity is low or the range of change is large, a little shade is needed.

It is very difficult and slow to plant cobra bottle grass from the seedlings, so it usually propagates with its stolon in late winter or spring. Usually from the Spring Equinox to late spring, many small teeth grow on the stolon internodes. Cut the stolon into several segments, each with some roots. Then put these stem segments on cool, damp broken water moss to keep the environment bright and humid. The bud development can be seen after a few weeks.

Like other insectivorous plants growing in temperate regions, cobra bottle grass needs to be dormant in winter to survive for a long time. The plant stops growing for 3 to 5 months in winter. Until near spring, mature plants grow a single flower, and several large insect bottles grow a few weeks later. It will continue to grow insect bottles throughout the summer, but its size is much smaller than that in spring.

Many growers have successfully cultivated cobra bottle grass and found three variants: all-green, all-red, red-green. The wild cobra bottle grass is all green in the same intensity of sunlight and red-green in strong light.

What do you need to pay attention to in cultivating cobra bottle grass? matters needing attention in raising cobra

Cobra bottle grass is a very interesting potted flower plant, so people like it very much. Many people plant it in their bedrooms or on the balcony. Recently, several friends asked me, what do you need to pay attention to in raising cobra bottle grass? today, the editor will tell you about the matters needing attention in cultivating cobra bottle grass.

Cobra bottle grass is also an insectivorous plant, which is native to northern California and Oregon. Because it is very similar to the cobra, it is favored by many flower farmers. The following is to explain to you the points for attention in breeding cobra bottle grass:

The substrates for cultivating cobra bottle grass can be peat, sand, water moss, peat, perlite, coconut shell and so on.

The water for cobra bottle grass must be soft water, that is, Rain Water, distilled water, reverse osmosis deionized water and so on. Because tap water in most areas contains a lot of minerals, especially calcium salts, insectivorous plants such as cobra bottle grass grow in barren and acidic soil and are very sensitive to calcium salts.

The cobra bottle grass is resistant to cold but afraid of heat, especially the roots should be kept cold, and there should be a large temperature difference between day and night. 15-27 degrees is the most suitable temperature for its growth, which can withstand the lowest temperature of minus 10 degrees and the highest temperature of 30 degrees.

The cobra bottle grass likes the strong light and can accept the sunlight when the temperature is not too high. At the same time, the top of the plant will show a red net pattern, which is very beautiful.

What should be paid attention to in raising cobra bottle grass?

Cobra pitcher grass is vulnerable to aphids or pink scale. Smaller hazards can be removed by hand, while larger hazards should be treated with pesticides as appropriate. Common insecticides include isopropanol, diazinon, malathion and acephate. The greatest harm of Botrytis cinerea is Botrytis cinerea. The control method is to put it in a cool and well-ventilated environment and remove the diseased branches in time, which can effectively inhibit the development of Botrytis cinerea. Use fungicides if necessary.

The above article introduces in detail what we need to pay attention to in cultivating cobra bottle grass, and also tells you the matters needing attention in cultivating cobra bottle grass. I hope this article can help you better plant our beloved cobra bottle grass. Don't let them get hurt.

Culture method of insectivorous plant cobra bottle grass

Cobra bottle grass (scientific name: Darlingtonia californica) is one of the genera of the family Cryptomellidae. It is an insectivorous plant, mainly distributed in northern California and Oregon. Cobra bottle grass is a very well-known insectivorous plant species, named for its resemblance to cobras, and is the target of many players' collections. The leaves of cobra bottle grass have two types. The leaves are rosette-shaped, and each adult growing point is composed of 3 to 14 leaves. The leaves of the seedlings were simple tube-shaped and the ends were acuminate in 2 to 3 years. Young leaves are generally 1 to 3 cm long and are reddish green to red.

The culture method of bottle grass

Temperature: like warm winter and cool summer, the suitable temperature for growth is 10-20 ℃, more hardy. In winter, the plant is dormant, and the temperature should not be lower than-5 °C, but it is best to maintain a temperature above 8C. It is not tolerant to dry and high temperature in summer, and the suitable temperature for growth is 20 ~ 26 ℃. Shading, environmental water spraying and strengthening ventilation should be adopted to create a cooler environment.

Light: like the semi-overcast environment, strong sunlight will burn the leaf tube. From late spring to early autumn, you should pay attention to shade, cover 50% to 60% of the sunlight, or place where there is enough scattered light to avoid direct sunlight. At other times, plenty of light is needed. Plants that fully receive sunlight in the open field in winter and spring are often greener than bottle-shaped leaves cultivated in greenhouses or greenhouses.

Watering: like wet soil environment, not resistant to drought. The growing period should be well watered to keep the substrate moist. Control watering in winter and moist it a little. The water temperature should be prevented from getting too high in summer, otherwise it will cause rotten roots. Rain Water should be used for watering. Avoid watering water containing calcareous matter.

Environmental humidity: like the humid environment, not resistant to drying, the growing period should often spray water to the plant and its surroundings, in order to keep the environment moist. Spraying more foliar water in summer can not only reduce the ambient temperature, but also avoid the adverse effects of hot and dry wind on plants.

Fertilization: nitrogen-based fertilizer is applied once every semimonthly in spring, 0.2%-0.3% fertilizer can be used to irrigate the root, or diluted fertilizer can be directly poured into the pest bag for absorption. The species with red leaves and red veins should pay attention to the cooperation of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so as to make the leaves bright and improve the ornamental value. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizer simply or too much, or the leaves will fade and fade. Fertilization should be light rather than thick, thick fertilizer is easy to cause fertilizer damage. When dormant in winter, fertilizer should be stopped.
