Instruction

1. Flycatcher is considered to be wetland plants. So it requires a substrate, consisting of peat, perlite and sand. Ratio: 4:2:1. As alternative substrate is applied a mixture of acidic peat and perlite in the ratio of 2:1. Before using the perlite soak it in distilled water for weeks. During this time change the water two times. Do not use as a substrate a conventional soil mixture based on peat from the store. Also in the ground for flycatchers cannot add expanded clay. It has some of the alkaline elements, which can destroy the plant.

5. The day before transplant spray the plant with the drug EPIN. The ratio of 2-3 drops per 200 ml of water. EPIN regulates and activates protective properties of the plant. So, the flytrap will better withstand stress after the transplant. And during transplantation spill substrate preparation "Ribav-extra". It stimulates root development, including bulbs. Gardeners also use "Ribav-extra" to improve the survival of plants.
