@@lolledopke the only difficult thing about carnivorous plants is acclimating them to a new environment. Once you acclimate them all you have to do is leave them outside and make sure they have water in their tray. There’s more to that but that’s pretty much the basics on how to grow them.
I grew up in NC, there was some marshy wet lands on he outskirts of my neighbourhood where there Venus flytraps and pitcher plats every where! It was really cool growing up there. It’s all gone now, they turned into more housing.
These fascinate me. Not only are they capable of movement, but to operate the way they do they need to possess something similar to a primitive nervous system and be strong enough to over power the bug trying to get out
In most instances, there's no carcass left, the plant will dissolve the whole bug. However, certain bugs with resilient bodies can resist some of the dissolving. In those cases, the bug still dies but the plant dissolves as much as it can. When there's nothing left to dissolve, the plant will open and the bug will remain, less than half its weight due to dehydration, at which point other bugs or a bird may find it and feed on it or the wind will blow it away.
They explain it in the video. The plant releases enzymes afther the hairs are triggered while closed that disolves the insect so the plant can feed from it.
@@bundleofhumble3119 They do, but he's referencing towards the end when the plant opens and the bug is not completely dissolved, there's still a husk left.
From my experience if the plant catches something bigger, it'll digest it, later on when it's done the leaf opens up and dies, shrivels and falls off. It keeps growing new leaves. The trap basically only needs to work one time anyway.
my flytraps have just flowered! Something else the flytrap does is go dormant in winter, the whole plant recedes to bulb, to allow the dead leaves to burn off. They rely on the annual fires to keep a clear canopy as they are miniature and unable to photosynthesise as efficiently as unmodified leaves. As far as I know they're endangered in their natural habitat, sortof like tigers.
They didn’t mean the whole thing shuts completely in that length of time. They were referring to the process of the trigger + electrical charge + water displacement all happening in 1/10th of a second, which causes it to shut. Then as the prey moves it continues to shut more.

Fun Fakt: they evolved really long flower stalks because short flower stalk plants were less successfully passing their genes on. They accidentally ate to many of their pollinators.

There is one error spread here: The wild form of Dionaea does not produce nectar drops and does not attract prey from a distance. Even your shown plants in this film are dry like the wild form! Studies show that the "nectar" in particular cultivated plants with thick drops (yes, in cultivated plants only) is the result of breeding in masses for the hobby market. By this, a very sensitive and balanced mechanism has been destroyed, that in nature leads i.e. small ants over the trigger hairs by building a path with traces of volatile aromes, produced by the alluring glands in the wild form. To capture such small ants would need more energy for closing and opening large traps than small ants provide. The path of volatile aromes along the upper edge, combined with the fact that 2 touches of the trigger hairs are necessary to close the trap is a sophisticated mechanism, investigated and published in 2019: "Dionaea traps selectively allow small animals to escape." by Siegfried R. H. Hartmeyer, Irmgard Hartmeyer and Stephen E. Williams in Carnivorous Plant Newsletter Vol. 48/4: 153-160. Dear BBC, this paper is indeed worth a read.
Last time I heard about it somewhere it was some nonsense about some cells dying and some dividing into new driving the closing process of the plant's "mouth", but it could never explain the speed of it closing! This about water pressure makes me doubt too, the plants leaf mouth didn't change colour or shape when doing it as the movement of water should give as a consequence, and it should make the mouth opening for a second time of hunting bugs not being possible. I myself believe that plants have a spirit, not an conscious soul although, explaining it's possibility to move! I as a child have seen another plant (some kind of bracken/fern) curl together almost all it's leaves when I touched it, but that's just a waste of energy, and how it can close and reopen leaves several times? I think that's kinda impossible, I think that plants have an spirit that give it energy instead.

Very good video. I would recommend lowering the volume of the background music so the narration is easier to hear.
Sounded fine to me.

Imagine that - a *plant* recognizing being touched twice in a row.

That was amazing. Our world is so amazing. I can watch this all day. Love this channel!
Hey Girl i need your opinion on the first clip if you are a fan of PUBG MOBILE❤️
Love how the snail keeps eating unaware that he's trapped for life
The snail is the one critter that might get away. It can eat its way out.
just like after the wedding...
It will easily escape, just like beetles. The plant is not that strong. A hard shell like what a beetle or snail has would easily get the insect out

definitely god created them in blink of an eye.lol
You cant learn much from this video. It's not exactly in-depth with knowledge.. atleast 1 thing I know of is wrong, the 100mS is bullshit
The fact that it uses the natural tendency of prey to struggle to its advantage is crazy

Where at in North Carolina?
I have one of these.It's incredible,seen it in action.In the summer,I keep it in my garden.In one day I saw 3 jaws made a catch.Interesting!!!
