Essay on pitcher plant 400 words

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.

The upper part of the cage has a top cover to prevent rain or other debris from falling into the cage, and it can block the light from the upper part, confusing the insects that fall into the cage so that they cannot find an exit, and the evolution of nature is truly amazing! On the opposite side of the cage cover, there are often two parallel wings that extend from the cage mouth and converge downward to the bottom of the cage, and its function may be to facilitate insects and other small animals to climb from the bottom of the cage to the cage mouth, which is part of the whole perfect "death trap".

Nepenthes relies on such a wonderful cage to catch insects, the edge of the cage opening will secrete honey, and the insects attracted by this will slide into the cage when feeding, the inner wall of the cage is smooth and cannot climb out, and the digestive juices secreted in the cage can drown the insects and digest and absorb.

Nepenthes, pitcher plants, like a pitcher, but grass. It can help me eat predators, how can I thank it? When I think of this self-composed "Nepenthes", I am reminded of my favorite plant, "Nepenthes".

Nepenthes is a well-known tropical insectivorous plant that is mainly produced in tropical Asia. Nepenthes has a unique nutrient-absorbing organ - insect trap sac, which is cylindrical in shape and slightly enlarged in the lower part, because it is shaped like a pig cage, so it is called "pitcher plant". It is not red, green is not green, and the nectar at the mouth of the bottle is very attractive.

Plants that also rely on catching small animals such as insects to grow are called "insectivorous plants".

When it comes to pitcher plants that can eat insects, I think of my "natural enemies" - mosquitoes. One day, I stumbled upon pitcher plants in a book, read its introduction, and learned that this plant is bought in the flower and bird market. I thought to myself:

There are plants in the world that can eat insects, and if I buy them and raise them at home, won't I be able to destroy my "natural enemies"! Just do it.

I walked into the flower and bird market, and I saw almost the whole market, but I didn't see the shadow of the pitcher plant. I've heard others say that pitcher plants are hard to come by. I was a little disappointed.

When I walked into the last store, I saw pitcher plants and bought them right away. The book says that Nepenthes prefers shaded places, so I put it in a corner and take good care of it every day, and it grows well. After a few days, I noticed that I had a lot fewer "natural enemies".

Only then did I find out that it was the Nepenthes help.

The reason why I like pitcher plant is that it helps me eliminate my "natural predators".

Some people raise beautiful and moving begonias, some people raise simple and fresh daffodils, some people raise magnificent peonies, but I raise a pot of uncommon pitcher plants.

At the end of spring, it grows a bunch of new branches, and on the new branches, there are buds like willow leaves, and the "willow buds" are covered by patches of turquoise leaves'The leaves are like pieces of emerald, protecting the pitcher plant buds.

In early summer, the pitcher plant sprouts have turned into turquoise "little jars" hanging next to the green leaves. At this moment, a breeze blew, and the small jar fluttered gently. When the wind passed, it hung quietly on the stem, silently.

I saw that the bottom of it was round, and on the top of the jar, there was a small lid, which was the famous pitcher plant that eats insects.

Officially entering the summer, the pitcher plant has completely grown, tender yellow, and it is different from before. Some pitcher plant jars have a brown mouth, which means that it is not good and has to be cut off.

Between summer and autumn, mosquitoes become more numerous, and pitcher plants are very useful at this time! Unlike other plants, it can eat some mosquitoes, such as flies, mosquitoes, ......It first emits a honey-like fragrance, and when the mosquito comes, it burrows into the jar, and it secretes a very sticky substance, so that the mosquito cannot move, and then the jar is closed, and slowly, with relish, "eats" it.

Because Nepenthes traps bugs, I love Nepenthes!
