The Sarracenia is anything but easy-care
The right care for the Sarracenia hybrid
A very unusual plant is the Sarracenia hybrid, also known as a tubular plant. It owes its name to the eye-catching trumpet-like leaves that attract and digest insects, especially flies. The care of hose plants is expensive. Hybrid forms are a bit more robust and easier to care for.
How is the Sarracenia hybrid watered?
In the pot or bucket, the damming process is recommended. The water is poured exclusively into the saucer. If the coaster is dried out, new water is poured over.
Calcified water does not tolerate the hose plant. Pour only with rainwater or use distilled water.
To increase the humidity, you can spray Sarracenia more often with soft water.
Does the hose plant need fertilizer?
Like all meat-eating plants you should not fertilize hose plants. They supply themselves via the substrate, which usually contains too many nutrients anyway.
Does Sarracenia need to be repackaged?
Once the pot has become too small, you should repot the plant. The best time for this is spring. Choose a vessel that is only slightly larger than the old one. Fill it with fresh substrate.
When repotting, you can also split the plant to multiply. Cut off the rhizomes with a knife so that enough roots remain on the sections.
Which diseases can occur?
In an unfavorable location, gray mold is more common. He is an indication that the plant
stands. All affected parts must be cut. Also, the plant should be repotted. Move the Sarracenia hybrid to a more convenient location.
How is the hose plant overwintered?
Hardy species of the hose plant need no special winter protection. Care in the bucket or as a houseplant requires special wintering.
Indoor plants are brought over the winter to a very bright, but only 2 to 10 degrees cool location. They may only be poured sparingly. However, the substrate should not completely dry out.
Tips
Tubular plants with their eye-catching flowers and hoses shaped leaves can be kept in the field, in a tub or as a houseplant. For the field are hardy varieties.
