1, soil: in raising hogweed should be loose soil, more fertile soil, family farming can be moss, peat, charcoal and fir bark chips for preparation and use.

2, temperature: the maintenance of the environment is best controlled at 25-30 ℃, summer temperatures become high, can be through the spraying of water, shift position cooling. Winter temperature can not be lower than 16 ℃ to avoid frostbite.

3

3, light: it does not like the sun, breeding to provide it with a semi-shady environment is best, should avoid strong direct sunlight. Especially in the height of summer must be shade, otherwise it will be its leaves to burn.

4, moisture: maintenance can be more water to the soil, you can also use the pot dip method of water replenishment, can not let it grow in a water shortage. Also have a high enough humidity, breeding environment can not be too dry, need to often spray water to improve humidity.

Notes

Hogweed is an insectivorous plant, and they already have the ability to obtain nutrients by catching insects or small animals. These insectivorous plants are very efficient insect catchers. Cultivating hogweed does not require specifically feeding them insects, and hogweed cultivated outdoors can usually catch insects on their own.

It is recommended to feed too many or too large insects, such as cockroaches. It takes several weeks for an insect as large as a cockroach to be completely digested, and the putrid odor emitted during this time can be unbearable.

Additionally, it is not recommended to feed insects to young or newly transplanted hogweed, as they do not yet have the ability to fully digest them, and blind feeding can cause dead insects to rot inside the cage, resulting in necrosis of the cage. If the hogweed has insects to feed on, there is no need to fertilize it.

However, when cultivated indoors, there are usually not enough insects for hogweed to catch. And in order to take into account indoor hygiene, you can instead fertilize your hogweed to replenish the nutrients. Use a quick-dissolving foliar fertilizer for hogweed, and never apply non-slow-release fertilizers directly to the soil. Since insectivorous plants are more intolerant of highly concentrated fertilizers, they should be diluted a few times more depending on the amount of fertilizer used for safety reasons.

For example, if the instructions for the fertilizer state that it is to be diluted 1,000 times, then it can be diluted up to 4,000 times for hogweed. Spray the diluted fertilizer evenly over the entire plant with a sprayer. In addition to spraying foliar fertilizers, you can also use slow-acting fertilizers. It can be put directly into the insect trapping cage of the hogweed or mixed into the substrate to supply nutrients to the hogweed.
