平葉狸藻

平葉狸藻的基本資料

栽培難度

適合高級者

壽命

壽命短的多年生草本

體型

關於大小的資料很少

澆水

幾乎不需要肥料（用葉片粘液捕捉小蟲）

日照環境

充分日照時葉片會呈現深紅紫色。在明亮的地方或照明下種植。

澆水

為濕地性植物，需保持基質常濕。在自生地常沉入水中，乾燥是禁忌。

溫度・越冬

為暖溫帶性，不具備耐凍機制。冬季在不結凍的地方管理。

基質・換盆

使用泥炭3：矽砂1：珍珠岩1的混合基質，或單獨使用泥炭種植。當被苔蘚或藍藻覆蓋時，更換為新基質。

繁殖方法

由於是壽命短的多年生草本，長期栽培需要採集種子。自交親和性低，需用筆進行花粉授粉。種子在15℃以上的環境下2～4週發芽。

關於平葉狸藻

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.

開始照料平葉狸藻前需要了解的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.

平葉狸藻的常見問題

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.
