Stylidium irenae is a carnivorous plant native to Australia .

Stylidium irenae, a fascinating "trigger plant" from Australia, captivates with its pretty pink to lilac flowers and its ingenious trapping mechanism. Its sensitive column (gynostemium) is triggered upon contact with an insect, temporarily trapping it for digestion.

This species is both compact and elegant.

Description

Growing and care tips for Stylidium irenae

Temperature

Withstands temperatures up to 40°C in summer and from 0 to 15°C in winter. Tolerates light frosts.

Water

Use only rainwater, demineralized water, or reverse osmosis water. Water that is too hard (high in calcium) will cause the plant to die within a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, as it generally contains too many salts, which are harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer filled with water.

Keep the substrate moist during winter.

Fertilizer

Unnecessary: this carnivorous plant grows naturally in poor soils and occasionally compensates for deficiencies by digesting prey.

Brightness

Shaded but bright location. In winter, artificial light is beneficial.

Substrate

Carnivorous plant mix is the basic substrate for many species; you can make it yourself by mixing blonde peat , perlite , and vermiculite (4:1:1:1 ratio), or blonde peat and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2:1:1 ratio). It propagates easily from cuttings!
