The Venus Flytrap is something very special. After all, it is a carnivorous plant. Here's an explanation of how you can multiply them.
There are several ways to reproduce the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula). He althy plants, for example, multiply by themselves if they are kept in the best possible way. You won't notice this at first glance, but it is a sure sign that your plant is doing well. You can also propagate the carnivorous plant using cuttings. Another option is seed cultivation, but this is not always successful.
» Divide root ball:
If the plant is he althy and has enough space in the pot, it will multiply by itself every year. You can leave the Venus flytrap in the pot until it gets too tight. A good time for repotting is after the hibernation.
To do this, carefully remove the plant from the pot and divide the root ball. With a bit of luck, the parts will separate themselves if you pluck the plant apart with a little finesse. You can also divide the root ball with a sharp knife. Each section must have its own rhizomes and leaves. You then have to place the divided plants in new planters and then continue to care for the Venus fly traps as usual. In the first two to three weeks, the pots should be light, but not in the blazing sun.
» Remove cuttings:
Leaf cuttings with a piece of rhizome are well suited. Carefully break or cut off the chosen leaf and place it in a pot with a mixture of peat and sand. You can also use special carnivore soil. Then place the vessel in a bright place and water regularly with lime-free water. Additional spraying does no harm, as this increases the humidity.
Propagation via root cuttings works in a similar way. When repotting the plant, all you have to do is remove and insert a few root parts.
» Propagate Venus flytrap by seed:
For this you have to during thePollinate the flowers yourself with a brush during the flowering phase. The mature seeds then form after flowering. To harvest, place a paper bag over the bud and shake gently until the seeds fall out. Keep the ripe seeds cool and protected from light until sowing. Alternatively, you can also buy seeds.
The beginning of March is the sowing time. To do this, sprinkle the seeds on well-moistened potting soil, which consists of one third sand and two thirds peat. However, do not work the seeds into the soil, because the Venus flytrap needs light to germinate. The pot must therefore be bright and sunny. A foil or pane of glass is then placed over the pot to create a warm, humid climate. The earth must not dry out. It is therefore best to use an atomizer to keep the substrate evenly moist. After about 20 days the seeds will germinate. You can find out here how to properly care for the Venus flytrap afterwards.
