Instruction
1. In house conditions dioneyu it is possible to grow up from seeds. For pretreatment wet napkin in the solution of Topaz fungicide prepared from couple of drops of means and glass of the distilled water. Wrap seeds in damp fabric, pack into plastic bag and you hold within two months at temperature of 5-7 degrees.
2. For preparation of substrate wet perlite for week in the distilled water. Mix the component of soil processed in such a way in equal proportions with riding peat. Water substrate with fungicide solution, place the prepared seeds on the surface of soil and cover container glass or transparent film.
3. Put capacity from dioney to the place where it will be possible to maintain air temperature within 25 degrees. Having used the fluorescent lamp, arrange sixteen-hour daylight hours in small greenery. Seeds of dionea sprout within 2-4 weeks. After the flycatcher has 2-3 leaflets, begin to air container.
4. In the spring and in the summer dioneyu it is possible to hold in the open air. Do not change the provision of plant concerning luminous source.

During the spring and summer season support this level of liquid in pallet.
5. For normal development dioneya needs dormant period which lasts 3-4 months. To arrange to plant the necessary conditions, within 30 days gradually lower indoor temperature where there is flower, up to 5 degrees. In process of reduction of daylight hours the plant falls into hibernation. It is possible to pack container from dioney into plastic bag with openings for ventilation and to send to the fridge.
