Carnivorous plant - Pinguicula Floriansupplied in an in vitro cupeasy to keepThe diameter of the rosette is approx. 1 cmSunlight, 16-hour dayHumidity: 50-80%Temperature: 22-29 °CPale pink flowerPinguicula 'Florian' is a hybrid of Pinguicula 'Debbertiana' and Pinguicula. 'Esseriana'. Pinguicula 'Florian' was registered as a cultivar in 2004 and is named after the breeder's eldest son. The plant Pinguicula 'Florian' has leaves that turn an intense red color in strong light.This is an easy-to-grow species of carnivorous plant and therefore also suitable for beginners.Size: The rosette reaches a diameter of only 1-2 cm. Excellent for cultivation in the small WabiKusa jars. Flowers: The flower emerges from the winter rosette and is pale pink.Light: The plant prefers partial to full sun, 16 hours of light per day Substrate: An airy and well-drained mixture, usually consisting of peat moss and perlite or coarse sand. Feeding/ fertilizing: The plant does not require special fertilization as it absorbs nutrients through insects. The plant can be fed Drosophila from time to time. Springtails that stray onto the plant are also eaten.Humidity: The ideal humidity is between 50 % and 80 % with sufficient air circulation. During the insectivorous phase, provide sufficient distilled water to keep the medium moist. The plant can also tolerate dry periods. Temperature: The plant grows well at temperatures between 22°C and 29°C.Propagation: Propagation takes place via leaf cuttings. The leaf is broken off at the base and placed on the moist substrate. New plants will form after a few weeks. The combination of carnivorous plants with reptiles reptiles in a terrarium can create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically interesting environment. Carnivorous plants such as Drosera, Nepenthes, Pinguicula and Sarracenia are not only exotic and beautiful, but they also contribute to a balanced ecosystem by controlling the population of small insects. small insects.

Carnivorous plant - Drosera nidiformis x natalensissupplied in an in vitro cupThe diameter of the adult plant is 5 cm.The plant prefers full sun16 hours of light / dayHumidity: 50-70%Temperature: 20-28°CDormancy period: none Drosera nidiformis x natalensis is a hybrid of Drosera nidiformis and Drosera natalensis. It has a maximum diameter of around 5 cm. It is ideal for small terrariums, planters and arrangements with other carnivorous plants.Drosera nidiformis x natalensis is an easy to cultivate insectivorous plant that insectivorous plant that is perfect for beginners interested in insectivores. interested in insectivores. With its attractive shape and relatively simple requirements, it is an interesting addition to any for any collection of insect plants.Size: The adult plant reaches a diameter of 5 to 7.6 cm. Leaf color: Plant color ranges from deep olive green to wine red in the right light. Stronger lighting leads to a more reddish color.light: Drosera nidiformis x natalensis prefers full sun or bright, diffused light for most of the day. At home, it is best placed on a sunny windowsill or under plant lamps.Substrate: The best substrate for Drosera nidiformis x natalensis is a mixture of sphagnum peat and perlite or sand in a 1:1 ratio. The substrate should be acidic (pH 4.5-5.5) and well-drained. Feeding/fertilizing: Sedums generally do not need additional fertilization as they absorb nutrients from the insects they catch. Occasionally you can feed the plant with small insects such as fruit flies.Humidity: This plant prefers moderate to high humidity, usually 50-70%. Regular spraying is sufficient.The hybrid sundew requires constant moisture in the substrate. It is best watered with distilled, demineralized or rainwater, although tap water should be avoided. The substrate should be moist but not flooded. Temperature: The sundew hybrid grows best at moderate temperatures. The optimum temperature range is 20-28 °C during the day and 10-18 °C at night. The plant can tolerate lower temperatures, but is not frost-hardy.The combination of carnivorous plants with reptiles reptiles in a terrarium can create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically interesting environment.

Carnivorous plant - Nepenthes macfarlaneisupplied in an in vitro cupdemandingPots up to 15cm tall - climbing plant up to 4 meters highBright spot without direct sunlightHumidity: 70-90%Temperature: 20-30 °C during the day and 15-20 °C at nightNepenthes macfarlanei, also known as Macfarlane's pitcher plant, is a tropical insectivorous plant that is native to the mountainous regions of Malaysia, particularly the Malay Peninsula. The plant is characterized by the fact that it produces trap-like pitchers that are used to catch and digest insects. The pitchers are green, often with red or purple spots, and can reach a length of up to 15 cm. The pitcher has a lid on top to prevent rain from entering the trap.Nepenthes macfarlanei is a demanding plant, especially in terms of humidity and water quality. It is ideal for growing in terrariums or special greenhouses for tropical plants.size: The slow-growing plant climbs over 4 meters high, forms leaves usually 8 cm apart and has a fairly thick trunk Light: Nepenthes macfarlanei prefers bright, diffuse light. It grows best in partial shade, where it is protected from direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.Substrate: The best substrate for this plant is a mixture of sphagnum peat, perlite and pine bark in a ratio of 2:1:1. The substrate should be well-drained and slightly acidic (pH 4.5-5.5).Nepenthes macfarlanei needs to be watered regularly to keep the substrate constantly moist, but not wet. It is best to use distilled water or rainwater, as the plant is sensitive to the mineral salts tothe mineral salts contained in tap water. Feeding/ fertilizing: Pitcher plants generally do not require additional fertilization as they absorb nutrients from the insects they catch. At home, a very diluted plant fertilizer can occasionally be added to the watering water.Humidity: High humidity is crucial for the proper development of Nepenthes macfarlanei. The humidity should be between 70 % and 90 %. Regular spraying and the use of foggers is recommended.In the home, this plant thrives best in the bathroom if it is showered daily. Temperature: This plant thrives well in moderate to warm temperatures. The optimum range is 20-30 °C during the day and 15-20 °C at night. Large temperature fluctuations should be avoided. Propagation: The plant propagates by seed. In cultivation, this also works with cuttings.The combination of carnivorous plants with reptiles reptiles in a terrarium can create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically interesting environment.
