Dionaea muscipula) is a species of carnivorous plants of the monotypic genus Dionaea of the Roseraceae family. Grows in a humid temperate climate on the Atlantic coast of the United States (Florida, North and South Carolina, New Jersey). Flowering period: from May to July. This is the only species of its genus. Dionaea is an insectivorous herbaceous perennial plant with a short underground stem. The stem is a bulbous rhizome. It blooms with delicate white flowers collected in inflorescences on a large peduncle. Flowers must be pollinated by hand to produce seeds. The size of the leaves varies from three to seven centimeters, but in large-growing varieties of Dionea they are larger, and in miniature ones they are even smaller. In addition, the size varies depending on the time of year. Grows in soils low in nitrogen, such as sphagnum bogs. The appearance of traps is based on a lack of nitrogen: insects serve as a source of nitrogen necessary for protein synthesis. The Venus flytrap is one of the few plants that can move quickly. The leaves are elongated, at the end a cracker is formed, consisting of two leaves, the edges of which have teeth. On the surface of these plates there are sensitive hairs (sensors) that react to the victim and give the command to close the trap. After closing the trap, juice is released and the digestion process begins, which, depending on the size of the insect, can last from several days to several weeks. Each trap is triggered several times (about 4-7 times), then dies. In winter, in the cool of the Venus flytrap, it enters a period of rest, stops growing and seems to die or freeze. Dried leaves can be removed and the plant thoroughly watered; it will grow again in the spring. The seeds of the plant are very small and special care is required when working with them. Carnivorous plant Venus flytrap. Dionea is a carnivorous plant. carnivorous plant Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) seeds require cold stratification for 4–6 weeks (temperature +2°...+7°C). The seeds are placed on a cotton swab or napkin soaked in a fungicide solution, placed in an airtight container or ziplock bag that is tightly sealed so that the humidity is as high as possible and the seeds are kept in a moist environment. Cool and watch for mold by periodically adding a mild fungicide solution, or you can mist the container with a spray bottle to prevent mold. During this period, the seeds do not change appearance, do not germinate or swell. After stratification is completed, the seeds should be planted on the surface of the substrate in a mini-greenhouse. Don't bury seeds there. Close the mini-greenhouse with a lid and place it in a tray with distilled water on a southern windowsill or under a phytolamp (at least 3500 lumens) for 14-16 hours a day. At 20-25°C, high humidity and good light, they germinate in 4-6 weeks; Germination can take up to several months. You only need to water into the tray. The plants are swampy, so there should always be a little water in the pot, about 1-1.5 cm. After the seedlings reach a size of 1-2 cm, they should be transplanted into separate pots. For transplantation, you can use tweezers and a toothpick. You can grow seeds all year round. The plant loves direct sunlight.
