What kind of plant is Nepenthes? In the case of pitcher plants, you can check some related encyclopedias to understand what kind of plant it is in more detail.

Although the pitcher plant can eat small Jingye flying insects, it is still a plant.
The local movement of the plant body caused by the undirected infiltration of the terrestrial external ** is called perceptual movement.
Nepenthes' response to catching insects belongs to the perceptual movement of plants, and Nepenthes is a plant not an animal.
The main reason why pitcher plants are plants and not animals is that they can make organic matter through photosynthesis.

Nepenthes is a tropical insectivorous plant, its body shape is peculiar, there is an insect trap, it will exude a fragrance to attract insects, and then it will be preded, absorb the nutrients in the insects for growth, in the process of breeding Nepenthes, it should be placed in a astigmatism environment to keep the color of the plant bright, and it is necessary to water the Nepenthes every day to keep the soil moist.
Nepenthes is a perennial vine of the Nepenthes family, the stem is lignified, the plant height is about three meters, the leaves are oblong, and the pitcher plant has a cage-like organ, which will exude a faint fragrance, attract insects to approach, and prey on them, absorb the nutrients of insects to maintain their own growth.
Although Nepenthes grows in the tropics, it has a small demand for light, and only needs to be placed in a astigmatism environment to maintain bright leaves, and when the light is too strong in summer, it is necessary to cover the top of Nepenthes with a shading net to maintain a shading rate of 50% to avoid sunburn on the leaves of the plant.
Nepenthes is suitable for growing in a high humidity environment, and it should be watered once a day during breeding to keep the soil moist at all times, but the water should be watered in the soil when watering, so as to avoid the Nepenthes contact with water, so as to avoid leaf decay and affect aesthetics.

Nepenthes is a plant.
It preys on insects mainly to obtain inorganic matter, and its way of obtaining energy mainly depends on photosynthesis, from the structure of its cells, the structure of tissues and organs, and the way of reproduction, it is a plant.
There are about 170 wild species of Nepenthes species, only one species is found in Guangdong, China, and more than 1,000 horticultural species. Although pitcher plants are wildly distributed in Sanling Mountain, Leizhou and other places in Guangdong, they are rarely used. It was not until the 90s of the 20th century that the excellent varieties of pitcher plants introduced from China were mainly used for flower exhibitions.

It can make organic matter through photosynthesis, so it is a plant.

It is an insectivorous plant.
Nepenthes is a general term for all species of the genus Nepenthes. It is a tropical insectivorous plant that is mainly native to the tropics of the Old World. Nepenthes has a unique nutrient-absorbing organ, the insect trap, which is cylindrical in shape, slightly enlarged in the lower half, and has a lid on the mouth of the cage.
Because it is shaped like a pig cage, it is called pitcher plant.

Plants, wild pitcher plants grow in poor land areas, in order to take in sufficient nutrients evolved insect traps, to prey on insects to take in nutrients, by the way, there are several plants like pitcher plants are called insectivorous plants, only plants can photosynthesize, no animals can photosynthesize.
There is no harm to the human body, but it is rumored that there will be a peculiar smell at home when raising pitcher plants, because it will have digestive juices to decompose insects after catching them, and it is easy to produce bad taste, so it is recommended not to raise them indoors.
Nepenthes temperature requirements: Nepenthes likes a high temperature environment and grows vigorously at 20-30 degrees Celsius. In the winter when the temperature is cold, the pitcher plant almost stops growing, and you also need to warm the pitcher plant to prevent it from freezing to death. >>>More
If the air humidity is too low, it is recommended to suckle.
The main purpose of planting pitcher plants is for ornamentation, and the focus of the viewing is her insect trap - the "cage", which is brightly colored and strangely shaped, and is a very delicate and wonderful insect trap tool, which has a high ornamental value. Different species, the shape of the cage is different, even the same tree can grow two different forms of cages, generally grow in the lower part of the cage is fatter, rounder, larger, called the lower cage or lower cage, growing in the upper part of the cage is longer, thinner, inclined to funnel shape, called the high cage or upper cage. The mouth edge of the cage is turned outward, and there are smooth grooves that extend to the inner edge of the cage mouth, which can act as a guide when the insect slides down. >>>More
When choosing soil, pitcher plants should be mixed with good water retention as much as possible, and garden soil + humus soil or peat soil can be mixed. After planting, you can spread a layer of moss on the surface of the soil, and if you don't have charcoal, you can use charcoal or cedar bark to retain water and moisturize, if the water is lost too quickly, it will affect its growth.
