Are there carnivorous plants, and how many species of carnivorous plants are there

Yes, and several! You can go to this ** to check it out.

It's scary.

Carnivorous plants include Venus flytrap, pitcher plant, and sundew.

1. Venus flytrap.

Venus flytraps have glands that secrete digestive juices on their leaves, and once they catch some small insect digestive juices, they will be secreted in large quantities. At this time, the soft parts of the insect will be digested and absorbed, so that the insect can no longer escape, and when it is full of food and drink, the leaves will automatically open and wait for the arrival of the next prey.

2. Nepenthes.

The top of the leaf of the pitcher plant has a small pouch similar to a lantern, which is the name of the pitcher plant**, and this sac also has a small lid on top of the cap, and there are many nectar glands underneath the lid. Because the nectar glands of the lantern plant can secrete sweet honey, it will attract small insects to fly to this place, and eventually become the sac of the pitcher plant.

3. Sundew.

The ornamental value of the sundew is extremely high, because it is like a ball of fireworks when it is formed, and the way to catch insects is also to use honey mucus on the leaves to attract and stick to small insects, and then secrete other liquids to kill small insects, decompose the insect body, absorb the nutrients of the insect body and gradually digest and absorb it for its own use.

How to raise insectivorous plants

Insectivorous plants like a moist environment, to use the soaking pot method to water, take a water basin, pour water with a height of about one centimeter, put the plant in the water basin to breed, do not need to take it out in the later stage, you can keep the soil moist.

Insectivorous plant fertilization can be used by sprinkler irrigation, during the growth period to use general compound fertilizer, and the concentration of fertilizer dilution is one-fifth of that of ordinary plants, once or twice a month, pay attention to the concentration can not be too high when fertilizing, easy to produce fertilizer.

It should be noted that insectivorous plants will secrete mucus and also emit a smell to attract insects, after finding an insect close, do not spray the insect with insecticide, which will kill the plant, and do not touch the leaves or antennae with your hands, which will reduce the ability to catch insects.

There are more than 400 species of carnivorous plants.

1. Cordyceps.

A tropical tank plant in Sulawesi, this plant is characterized by having an internal chamber trap that attracts insects with nectar, which is then trapped inside the tank, which is broken down and digested. Native to southern China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, it prefers to thrive in the lowlands or highlands.

2. Raccoon dog. Also known as the water wheel plant, it is found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. The trap consists of two branches and leaves, which are folded together under water. Once the insect triggers the hair, the trap closes within 10-20 milliseconds.

3. Insect trapping trees.

A carnivorous traveler plant native to South Africa that is known for its beautiful pink flowers and sticky leaves. This plant secretes mucilage, a substance that sticks to insects and is extremely sticky, persistent, and resistant to water. The leaves are covered with sticky hairs that can catch many small insects, however, they rarely catch large insects such as wasps and bees.

4. Raccoon algae. This carnivorous plant traps small creatures through bladder-like traps that can grow from millimeters to centimeters. There are about 230 species of this carnivorous plant, which thrives mainly in freshwater and moist soils in the form of terrestrial or aquatic species, and it can be seen on all continents except Antarctica.

5. Glandular hairgrass.

Also known as the rainbow plant, it usually grows in Western Australia. The leaves of this species are covered with glandular hairs and secret mucus substances to attract prey, and these leaves are secret digestive enzymes.
