Fettkraut, the carnivorous plant
Fettkraut the carnivorous plant for beginners: The fat herb is a carnivorous plant, even if it does not look like it. The leaves form a sticky secretion on which the prey literally hangs. Subsequently, digestive juices are released, which decompose the insects. The resulting nutrients are absorbed by the leaves.
The root is rather incidental in this plant and serves primarily the anchorage. The butterwort is one of the carnivorous plants that are also native to Germany. This perennial plant can be described as a beginner plant. The attitude is easy compared to many other types. Except that it always needs to be kept moist, and requires a sunny location, there is not much to pay attention to. When moisturizing waterlogging should be avoided. As with all carnivorous plants is also the speech: Do not use tap water! It is too calcareous. Only rainwater should be used. If rainwater is not available, distilled water can be used. This should then be mixed with 10% tap water.
If the Fettkraut kept pure in the apartment, so it should be granted a winter break. During this break, the temperature should not rise above plus five degrees. Since it is hardy, temperatures below zero do not pose a problem. But it also has to be kept moist during the break. If the hibernation is over, this can already happen in late February, it should not be immediately exposed to the blazing sun. But gradually be accustomed to full irradiation again. Buy now
