Water Sarracenia according to the season. Usually in spring and autumn, the plants grow faster and need to be watered once a day. In summer, due to higher temperatures, water evaporates faster. In addition to watering twice a day, you also need to spray water appropriately. In winter, it is necessary to properly control water, stop fertilizing, do a good job of keeping warm, and control the temperature above 5-8°C. In addition, sufficient light must be provided so that it can survive the winter safely.

Sarracenia is a carnivorous herbaceous plant. It was originally distributed in acidic swamps, so it prefers a humid climate and needs to be watered appropriately every day. Water to keep the soil moist, which is helpful for plant development. Usually during the peak growing season, water should be watered once a day and sprayed appropriately to increase the ambient humidity. If it is summer, water twice a day, but do not water at noon to avoid lowering the ground temperature. During the dormant period, you can control watering and don't water too much.

< p>1. Cold protection and warmth preservation: Sarracenia is suitable for growing in a warm environment and has poor cold resistance, so we must pay attention to cold protection and warmth preservation. The temperature should be above 5-8℃, otherwise the plants will be frostbitten. If the temperature is low, you need to put a plastic bag on the upper part of the plant to keep it warm. Pay attention to ventilation regularly, but do not let it be blown by strong winds.

2. Control water and stop fertilizer: Sarracenia itself It likes moisture, but due to the low temperature in winter, the growth of the plant is slow and the demand for water is correspondingly reduced, so the amount of watering should be reduced. You should also stop fertilizing to prevent fertilizer accumulation from causing harm to the plant, which is not conducive to its growth and may even cause root rot.

3. Appropriate light: Sarracenia is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment, but because the temperature in winter is too low and the light is not strong, long-term exposure to light will help it survive the winter. Usually, the plant should be placed in a sunny place so that it can fully receive light, especially at noon, which is very helpful to increase the ambient temperature.
