The only kind dione, is a plant Venus fly-trap, in the wild occurring in peat bogs in North America. At the end of the stems are reddish leaves flycatcher-heart-shaped traps with teeth, along which are special glands. Emissions of nectar attracts insects, which prey and food for the Dyon, if you do not have time to escape before the trap slam shut. Signal the plant that caught mining, hair-triggers on the inside surface of wings, which touches crawler. If the extraction, whether it be a fly or a mosquito, can not escape, it triggers the stimulation ceases, and the trap gets the signal to open. Otherwise, trapped insects drown in the digestive juice and digests. This process lasts for several days, after which the valves are opened again to hunt for the next victim. One trap is able to digest food about three times before dying.
Venus fly-trap in height is usually small - up to 15 cm, and in the spring on a long peduncle, usually appear white flowers. Dionaea well cultivated in the home. As a substrate for planting Venus fly-trap is best suited mixture of soil for rooting cuttings and moss-sphagnum in the ratio 1:3. In this case the substrate should be abundantly moist, and the pot with the plant is better placed on a pallet of water to the moisture reaches the drainage holes. In winter the water in the pan do not need to leave, but still need to ensure that the soil in the pot is not dried up. Dionaea Propagated by seeds, which are formed as a result of flowering, or by dividing the bush. Despite the fact that this plant is carnivorous, feeding into the special flies or other insects Dionaea not need, because for the full digestion Venus fly-trap should independently test all the excitement of hunting.
