How big can a Venus flytrap bought from a flower market grow?

The traps of a mature flower market Venus flytrap can grow to about 3-4 cm, and it generally takes about 5 years to become fully mature. Exactly how big it can grow depends on the variety, the number of years it has grown, and the care it receives.

1. Morphological characteristics of the flower market Venus flytrap

The leaves of the flower market Venus flytrap, like those of the Venus flytrap, have two forms: in summer the petioles are slender and extend upward into the air as upright leaves; in the colder season the petioles are short and broad and lie flat on the ground, and when there is plenty of light the inner side of the traps turns red.

Its insect-catching ability also inherits the speed and accuracy of its parent, and the large traps that reach up into the sky in summer are born for this purpose. It is a variety very suitable for household fly control, and it is also the best choice for modern people to learn the basic characteristics of the Venus flytrap.

2. How do you plant the flower market Venus flytrap?

1. Prepare the pot for sowing: fill the pot with substrate, then place it in a glass tank or water basin containing pure water so that the substrate absorbs water until the surface is moist, then use a spray bottle to mist the surface until wet (spray in a mist).

2. Sowing: the suitable temperature is 15-30 degrees. Sow the seeds directly on the surface of a moist, clean substrate (pure sphagnum moss or a peat mix can be used). Do not cover the surface with soil, or cover it with fine peat or fine-grained akadama 1-3 mm high to help hold the root system in place, and maintain high humidity and bright light (a water tray can be placed under the pot to keep it moist).

3. Spraying water: use a spray bottle to mist the surface until wet (spray in a mist), spraying carefully so that the seeds are not washed away.

4. Cultivation: place the pot with the sown seeds together with the glass tank or water basin on the inner side of a sunny windowsill. If it is a water basin, add a plastic cover with an opening at the top to keep in moisture. Be careful to replenish water in time; germination generally occurs in about 10 days (at 20 degrees).

5. Seedlings: when the seedlings grow 2 to 3 true leaves, they can be transplanted.

The Venus flytrap catches mosquitoes and insects, and the process of catching insects is also very interesting, so it is deeply loved by people.
