The main points of cultivation of Cobra Sarracenia

Sarracenia cobra is a genus of the Sarracenia family, an insectivorous plant, mainly distributed in northern California and Oregon. Cobra Sarracenia is a very well-known insectivorous plant species, because it resembles a cobraNamed, it is the collection goal of many players. The left and right sides of their bottle caps are glued together to form a spherical top, making the entire insect trap almost sealed. There is a concave gap between the spherical cap and the bottle body. The bottle.There are many white spots on the cap and bottle that lack chlorophyll. Sunlight can penetrate these white spots into the insect bottle. Insects mostly ants can enter the insect bottle through the slit. Once inside, they will beThese leukoplakia are confused. They mistakenly think that the leukoplakia is an exit and lose their direction in the trap bottle, and finally fall into the digestive juice and be digested.

Substrate

Peat, sand, sphagnum, peat, perlite, coconut shell, etc.

Watering

Need to use soft water for irrigation, such as rainwater, distilled water, reverse osmosis deionized water, etc. Tap water in some areas contains a lot of minerals especially calcium salts. These calcium salts will be deposited, thereby killing plants. This isBecause most carnivorous plants have adapted to poor acidic soil, they are extremely calcium avoiding plants, so they are very sensitive to nutrients in the soil.

Temperature

It is resistant to cold and heat, especially the roots should be kept cold, and there should be a large temperature difference between day and night; it can survive between minus 10 degrees and 30 degrees, and 15 to 27 degrees is the most suitable temperature for growth. Like strong light,When the temperature is not too high, it can be exposed to sunlight, and the top of the plant will show a red net pattern, which is very beautiful.

Pests and diseases

Easily infested by aphids or mealybugs. Smaller hazards should be removed manually, and larger hazards should be used as appropriate insecticides. Isopropanol is an effective insecticide against scale insects. Diazinon is also the majorityA broad-spectrum insecticide tolerated by carnivorous plants. Malathion and acephate are also suitable for carnivorous plants.

Although insect pests are a problem, the biggest problem is gray mold. It develops in a warm and humid environment and becomes a serious problem in winter. Place it in a cool, well-ventilated environment and promptlyRemoval of diseased branches can inhibit the development of gray mold to a certain extent. If it fails, fungicides should be used as appropriate.
