Happy Halloween Eden Keeper! 👋🎃
It’s official — every Dot has its own personality, just like every plant does! Some plants are trickier to keep alive than others, and right now we’re experimenting with a special Halloween-themed Dot featuring a Dionaea, the famous Venus flytrap!
The Dionaea muscipula is quite a challenging plant to grow. Through our tests with different Dot prototypes, we’re exploring whether our devices can actually keep it healthy. It won’t be easy — and we might fail a few times — but we’ll keep experimenting until we find the perfect settings to create the ideal environment for our little “hungry” plant.
But wait… how can it eat insects inside a jar?
Good question! The truth is, the Dionaea doesn’t necessarily need insects. What really matters is the right soil for carnivorous plants, proper lighting, and adequate humidity. These last two factors are essential for keeping the plant happy and thriving.
Feeding on insects is simply an evolutionary adaptation that helps carnivorous plants obtain nutrients in poor soils.
We hope to find the perfect balance soon! Our goal is to provide the Microeden community with the ideal settings right from launch — so every plant lover can enjoy growing this fascinating species at its best. 🌱💚
