Dionaea, which is known to most people who are not into floriculture by the sonorous name of “Venus flytrap”, has green leaves and bright red petals – those very traps.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , caring for the flower, especially for beginners, is quite difficult.
To make it easier to grow Dionaea, we will tell you how to properly feed this capricious plant.
First of all, it is worth mentioning that the Venus flytrap receives the nutrition it needs as a result of photosynthesis, so additional feeding with insects is usually not required.
If this argument seems unconvincing to you and you still decide to “treat” the Venus fly with a fly, beetle or other bug, remember: feeding can only be done if the plant is healthy.
The suitable period for this coincides with the period of active growth and lasts from March to September.
You should not feed your Venus flytrap more than once a month.
Don't even think about putting food from your own table into the traps - only insects are suitable for the Dionea, and, what is important, they must be alive.
