Substrate: It can be prepared with peat soil, sphagnum moss, perlite and other materials. Place some broken pot pieces on the bottom of the pot. It is best to use barren acidic soil. Temperature: The optimal growth temperature is 20℃--32℃. In winter, when it enters the dormant period, the room temperature should not be lower than 5℃. In summer, avoid high temperatures and provide appropriate shade and ventilation. Light: Sarracenia is resistant to exposure and needs sufficient light to grow. Avoid direct sunlight in summer. Watering: Keep it moist, preferably with rainwater.
Matrix selection
Substrate selection
Sarracenia does not have high requirements for the substrate, because its roots are very developed and usually occupy the entire flower pot. Peat soil, sphagnum moss, perlite, etc. can be used. According to the material preparation, some broken pot pieces can be placed on the bottom of the basin to facilitate ventilation and light transmission. As for soil, poor acidic soil is best.
Temperature requirements
Bottle Grass likes warm winters and cool summers. The optimal growth temperature is 20℃--32℃. When it enters the dormant period in winter, the room temperature should not be lower than 5℃. Avoid high temperatures in summer, remember to provide appropriate shade and increase ventilation to create a comfortable environment for it, and do not place it on the bare concrete floor, as it is very likely to be burned after exposure to the sun.
Environmental humidity
Sarracenia is suitable for growing in a relatively humid environment and is not resistant to drying. The air humidity is best kept above 30%. During the growing season, it is best to use the pot immersion method to plant to maintain the humidity of the substrate. In summer, it is best to spray water on the leaves to keep the environment moist, and this will also help to cool down.
Light requirements
Sarracenia is resistant to exposure and needs sufficient light to grow vigorously. If the light is insufficient, the color will be monotonous. However, you should pay attention to shade in summer and avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the strong sunlight may burn the leaf tube. Light can be reduced during the dormant period in winter, but one thing must be paid attention to. Do not suddenly expose Sarracenia grown in dark conditions to the sun, as this may lead to death due to maladaptation.
Watering problem
Sarracenia needs to be given sufficient water during the growth period, and the pot soil needs to be kept moist. It is best to irrigate with rainwater. Watering needs to be done many times in summer, but the water temperature should not be too high. In winter, watering needs to be controlled so that the soil is slightly moist. Be careful when watering, do not pour water into the insect bottle, and do not allow water to accumulate in the bottle.
Fertilization management
In spring, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied every half month, and the roots can be irrigated with 0.2%-0.3% fertilizer solution. But it is not always necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizer alone. For Sarracenia with red leaves, it is best to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in combination. In winter, stop fertilizing.
The editor is That’s it for everyone’s introduction to how to grow Sarracenia. I hope everyone can grow healthy and colorful Sarracenia.
