捕蟲兜 'Eden Black'

捕蟲兜 'Eden Black'的基本資料

栽培難度

適合高級者

壽命

多年生草本（可通過分株長期維持）

體型

植株高度約10公分，捕蟲袋長度最長約5公分

適宜濕度

60〜80%

澆水

幾乎不需施肥（捕捉蟻類等小昆蟲）

日照與放置位置

強光下捕蟲袋呈現黑紫色。在朝南的窗邊或LED照明下的明亮環境中栽培。光線不足時顏色會保持帶綠的色調。

澆水

喜濕但厭水滯。可將較深的盆器放在約1公分高的半腰水中，或根據用土特性選擇每日從上方澆水而不用半腰水。使用純水或雨水。

用土與重新種植

使用泥炭或切碎水苔2：砂8的配合搭配較深的盆器，表面鋪1公分厚的砂可抑制苔蘚生長。定期用水澆灌盆器以沖洗鹽類。

病蟲害與注意事項

易患白粉病，有時整個收藏會因此喪失。確保良好通風，若出現白粉狀黴菌應立即用殺菌劑處理。

繁殖方法

為保持品種特性應通過株分、根莖插和葉插進行繁殖。花後莖部枯萎屬正常現象，不久後會長出新芽。

關於捕蟲兜 'Eden Black'

Cephalotus Eden Black is a selected pitcher-plant cultivar whose traps darken to near-black purple in strong light. A perennial with pitchers about 5cm long, it suits experienced growers and can be kept for years through division.

開始照料捕蟲兜 'Eden Black'前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Light drives the black color

   The near-black purple of Eden Black deepens in proportion to light exposure — in low light, pitchers stay greenish and never darken. Give it as much strong, direct light as possible, outdoors or on a bright windowsill.

2. 2Match Watering to Your Mix

   Cephalotus comes from wetlands but dislikes stagnant water. Depending on your mix, either stand a deep pot in about 1cm of water or skip the tray and water from above every day. Use purified water or rainwater.

3. 3Sandy Mix in a Deep Pot

   Use a mix of two parts peat or chopped sphagnum to eight parts sand in a deep pot. A 1cm layer of sand on top helps keep moss down. Avoid ordinary fertilized potting soil, and flush the pot with water now and then to wash out salts.

4. 4Repot in spring

   Repotting is best done in early spring, as growth resumes, rather than during the depths of winter dormancy, to minimize stress on the plant. Dividing offsets at the same time tends to give the smoothest recovery.

5. 5Watch summer heat and humidity

   Cephalotus dislikes muggy heat, so in midsummer it needs good airflow and some shade from the harshest direct sun to avoid damage. This difficulty getting plants through summer is a major reason the cultivar is considered one for experienced growers.

6. 6Keep cool through winter

   Growth slows in winter, so water less often and let the plant rest in a cooler spot. Avoiding sudden temperature swings is key to keeping it healthy through the season.

7. 7Choose for depth of color

   Individual Eden Black plants vary in how dark they turn depending on growing conditions. When choosing one, check the coloring of the pitchers and the plant's overall condition to get a sense of what care it will need going forward.

捕蟲兜 'Eden Black'的常見問題

Q.Is this suitable for beginners?

A.Eden Black is considered a variety for experienced growers, since it needs careful humidity and temperature management. It suits growers who already have some experience with carnivorous plants or can devote time to care.

Q.Where does the name 'Eden Black' come from?

A.It's a clone selected by British grower S. Morley in the late 1980s and registered with the International Carnivorous Plant Society (ICPS) in 2007. The name comes from the name of the breeder's house and the color of its pitchers.

Q.Why aren't my pitchers turning black?

A.The most common cause is insufficient light — without strong direct sun, pitchers tend to stay greenish. Try moving the plant to a brighter spot.

Q.How large does it grow?

A.Its pitchers are about 5cm long, and the plant stays compact. It's less about growing big and more about enjoying the depth of color that develops in strong light.

Q.How is it different from a regular Cephalotus?

A.It's the same species, Cephalotus follicularis, at its core, but Eden Black is a clone specifically selected for producing an especially deep black-purple color in sun. The main difference is the intensity of that coloring.
