短寿命的多年生植物

体型

关于大小的资料稀少

浇水

几乎不需要施肥（通过叶片粘液捕捉小虫）

光照与摆放位置

充足的光照会使叶片呈现深红紫色。在明亮的地方或照明下栽培。

浇水

由于是湿地植物，应保持土壤始终湿润。在原生地甚至可能被水淹没，干燥是禁忌。

温度与越冬

暖温带物种，不具有耐冻机制。冬季应在不结冰的地方管理。

土壤与换盆

按泥炭3：硅砂1：珍珠岩1的比例配合，或单独用泥炭栽培。当被苔藓或蓝藻覆盖时，需用新鲜土壤重新栽种。

繁殖方法

由于是短寿命的多年生植物，长期栽培需要采集种子进行更新。由于难以自花受粉，需用笔毛进行人工授粉。种子在15℃以上的条件下约2-4周发芽。

关于平叶捕蝇堇(Pinguicula planifolia)

A carnivorous plant from Gulf Coast wetlands, its leaves turn deep reddish-purple in sun and it bears purple flowers. This wetland species tolerates submersion and suits experienced growers.

开始养护平叶捕蝇堇(Pinguicula planifolia)前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Give It Plenty of Light

   Bright light is essential for the leaves to develop their deep reddish-purple color. In partial shade the leaves tend to stay a pale green, so place the plant near a bright window with filtered sunlight.

2. 2Keep It Standing in Water

   Matching its native wetland habitat, the standard care method is to keep the pot sitting in a shallow tray of water at all times. Never let the growing medium dry out, as this species is especially sensitive to drought.

3. 3Use a Well-Draining, Moisture-Retentive Mix

   A blend of peat moss and river sand (or perlite) works well for this species. Using a clean mix low in organic matter helps reduce the risk of root rot and disease.

4. 4Repot When Needed

   When the surface of the mix becomes covered with moss or blue-green algae, repot into fresh mix. A blend of three parts peat, one part silica sand, and one part perlite, or pure peat, is commonly used.

5. 5Same Leaves Year-Round

   This warm-temperate species keeps the same leaves all year and has no dormant period. Plenty of sun turns the leaves a deep reddish purple. It has no way to withstand freezing, so keep it somewhere frost-free in winter.

6. 6Check Leaf Color and Rosette Condition

   When choosing a plant, look for one with deep reddish-purple leaves and firm leaf tips, signs it has been grown in adequate light. Also check the base of the rosette for any buildup of dead leaves.

7. 7Renew Plants from Seed

   Because Pinguicula planifolia is a short-lived perennial, collecting seed is essential for keeping it long term. It doesn't self-pollinate easily, so transfer pollen with a small brush. Seeds germinate in about two to four weeks at 15°C or above.

平叶捕蝇堇(Pinguicula planifolia)的常见问题

Q.Is this a good plant for beginners?

A.Pinguicula planifolia is generally considered an advanced-level plant. It requires care quite different from other carnivorous plants, such as keeping the medium constantly moist, so it's best attempted after you've gained some carnivorous plant experience.

Q.How often should I water it?

A.As a wetland species, it doesn't tolerate drying out, so the standard method is to keep the pot standing in a shallow water tray. Top up the water before the growing medium dries out, keeping it consistently moist.

Q.Why aren't my leaves turning reddish-purple?

A.Insufficient light is the most likely cause. The leaves develop their deep reddish-purple color under strong light, so try moving the plant to a brighter spot, such as a window with filtered sunlight.

Q.How long can I expect to keep this plant?

A.It's a short-lived perennial, so keeping the same plant going indefinitely isn't realistic. Hand-pollinate with a brush, collect the seed, and raise new plants to carry the line forward.

Q.What do the flowers look like?

A.It produces purple flowers with petals that are deeply cut about halfway to their base. This delicate flower form offers a nice contrast to the plant's vivid reddish-purple foliage.
