Where does the Venus flytrap grow - a predator among plants

It would be interesting to know where the Venus flytrap grows. Here I saw her only as a houseplant, and even then quite rare. For example, I love flowering plants more, but for the sake of interest I bought myself this miracle. Now I almost have a pet, I have to catch "food" for her. In general, this is a rather interesting and exciting activity - growing a flycatcher. And if you plant a bush in a garden so that it catches insects there, will a flycatcher grow there?

Recently, it has become very popular to grow not just exotic plants, but carnivorous ones, for example, dionea. Do you know where the Venus flytrap grows? Despite the fact that it needs live insects, it is unlikely that it will be possible to see the culture in the open field. This is all due to the exactingness of the conditions of detention and microclimate. What is this predator and where does it live?

Where does the Venus flytrap grow

The plant's habitat is rather limited, given its love of high humidity and acidic soil. Under natural conditions, the flycatcher grows in boggy bogs and peat bogs. The main area of ​​settlement is located in America, in the state of North Carolina, or rather in the district of a city called Wilmington. Since there are practically no nutrients in the swamp and peat, the culture had to “mutate” and look for food in a different way. As a result, she became carnivorous.

Given that the plant is massively harvested for trade, the flycatcher is officially recognized as an endangered species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature even listed it in the Red Book.

In our area, in the open field, Dionea cannot survive. Firstly, it needs a special, acidic soil, and constant moisture. Secondly, for the winter the bush hibernates and rests for three months in the cool (not higher than 10 °, but not lower than 0 ° heat). Russian frosts will simply destroy the flycatcher. But in indoor conditions, with proper care, the plant feels quite well.

What types of flycatchers can grow in the house

More than 20 plant varieties are adapted to grow as a pot culture. Among them, the most common are such flycatchers:

1. Bristly with sparse short teeth and bright color.
2. Fondue with different types of traps, most of which do not have a blade.
3. Long red fingers with scarlet traps and frequent teeth, sometimes fused.
4. Mouth with triangular teeth.
5. Low Giant with the largest traps.
6. Red dragon with burgundy traps.
