Omg like two people have said this already and I’ve barely scrolled down. 😂 by saying carnivorous he’s helping those who don’t know what it means and saying that it isn’t just plants that eat animals but a certain type.
Ehhhh a teir zoo fan I play the insect eating plant build here is a tip if you get killed by a plant remember that plant so you dont fall for it again also be careful with plants that look weird
I’ve had Venus fly traps. I killed one by feeding it little pieces of bologna when I was younger. Didn’t know they couldn’t eat just any kind of meat and the salt killed it. What sucks is they don’t get bigger by feeding, they just spread and make more traps. Fun to have though. I hate flies and they eat them so they’re my favorite.
"This plant seems to capture prey mysteriously, it seems to have a mind of it's own". You do know it uses the hairs on the inside as a trigger for closing.... And it doesn't know the difference of what triggers it, you can trigger it with your finger, a toothpick, anything..
I thought it was a bit peculiar that the flytrap had a sales pitch...there are plenty of more forgiving CPs as indoor plants, like Cape Sundews! It always hurts to see the cultivated flytrap trades, knowing most people would just buy them as novelties and kill them within a month by not understanding their needs.
I have a collection sarracenias in my garden, the 50cm tall pitchers are filled with insects almost to the top, ~200 insects in each pitcher, they're also the only carnivorous plants that can survive frost below -10C/14F. I also have some sundews (d. binata dichotoma variant), they are like like a sticky net catching anything that flies I tried to have some cobra lilys but they die off very easily and are hard to cultivate
Fun fact: They can't harm humans a bit. They lack teeth and jaws which are required for biting force. So, you can pull your finger out without any problem.
There's some information that you might find helpful. The venus flytrap does not have a mind of it's own. I was surprised (even though you got a close up camera angle of it) that the little red hairs inside the pods are sensors. and if any one sensor is triggered twice within 20 seconds, that's what triggers the trap.
The video mentions that venus flytraps grow in humid areas of the Atlantic coast of the U.S. They really only grow in a very small territory of North and South Carolina, and being from just north of there, I find it fascinating since most of the plants listed here are tropical and come from very far away, but the flytrap is the icon that most of us recognize as the ultimate carnivorous plant. I'm surprised the plant trade has not resulted in the plants successfully being introduced to the wild anywhere else in the world by now. My father's family has lived on the coast of North Carolina, exactly where the venus flytrap's territory is, for several hundred years, but he successfully set down his roots a bit farther to the north. ;)
The video also mentions that the venus flytrap mysteriously catches prey. Nothing mysterious about it, 3-6 little hairs that trigger an electrical response to close the lids, if touched within 20 seconds of eachother..
These are the type of plants that probably inspires sci-fi writers or creators to create the crazy plants that you would see on quote-unquote other planets c:
You heard correctly But it is not true I have no idea where he got that idea. Source: I have been growing carnivorous plants for a long time now and have about 400 different species
Darlingtonia is NOT a lily Nepenthes is pronounced "neh-pen-theez" or "neh-pen-this" if you are British The moccasin plant isn't even carnivorous and should not be on this list. The flower is meant to cover the bug with pollen. Flowers are never the carnivorous organ because plants don't want to eat their pollinator. Triphyophyllum does not have the ability to trap humans. Where did you even get that idea? Drosera has a very wide distribution range so it is weird and kind of wrong to call it "European" There is no plant called drosophyllium luminescum. it is drosophyllum lusitanicum. Pinguicula (ping-gwik-you-lah) not pingluku. Ping leaves do not move like some drosera leaves do. They are stationary. Sarracenia is a genus, not a family. And you put it on the list twice, apparently thinking that you were talking about two different things? Look dude, if you are going to upload informational videos you could at the very least do some research and learn basic Latin pronunciation. It would go a long way to helping your credibility (which is pretty low in my eyes, after watching this video)
I'm planning on getting them but the one i want is 200 dollars for the seeds. Least i have my venus fly traps. And also there are seven dollar seeds of tropical pitcher plants i can try to grow.
Jack-in-the-pulpit is as far as I know the only carnivorous plant found on the Lifers show so far. Hopefully we'll find more on future episodes, don't miss it!
omg what a good video I don't make videos that much tho. I never knew there was other plants that was also even real! omg omg what a great video keep it up! :)
Just gotten my first nepenthes yesterday. A couple of Red Mirabilis, said to be the easiest nepenthes to grow for beginners. Hopefully i can keep them alive and well.
Great video - I've had a venus fly trap - pretty cool. When it was done digesting a fly, there were always remains that ended up blowing away. With a pitcher plant, however, where does the waste go?
@@zaunere well, the leaves rotting means they gained a ton of prey and thus nutrients. The rotting of individual leaves doesn’t harm the plant - in fact, Sarracenia pitcher plants are far better overall hunters than Venus flytraps (hence why they are so abundant in contrast to flytraps).
I have a terrarium with 5 Nepenthese in it, it is a quite beautiful plant. The nectar even has a good smell to it. However, they require high light, humidity, airflow, and well draining soil with little nutrients and distilled water. They are easy to care for if you know what you are doing.
You forgot something about one plant I think, the pitcher plant has a tab or way of closing itself when it’s no longer hungry, also thumbnail time stamp 4:35
They dont close, but they forgot about one plant that does close its lid when the weather is hot to protect their fluid from evaporating. Its called cephalotus and it grows in australia
As a kid, I actually found some variation of sundew on the island off the coast of Maine I grew up on, in a bog. Couldn't find them again the following year, but it was still cool to see. The leaves were, if memory serves, about 1/4 inch to at MOST 1/2 inch long. Had the sticky tendrils and everything else to go with the sundew.
There definitely are certain species of sundew that thrive in the colder climates! Each winter they die back to a hibernaculum in the soil and re-emerge each Spring. Possibly a Drosera Intermedia?
"The venus flytrap catches its prey mysteriously, without special equipment." Actually, the venus flytrap has 1 piece of special equipment, and it's not a mystery how they catch their prey at all. Those little hair-like structures along the inside edges of the "mouth" are how the plant is able to differentiate between what is or is not food. See, if only 1 or 2 of those little hairs gets disturbed, the flytrap attributes it to a wayward branch or leaf or whatever, but when 5, 6, or 7 of those hairs get disturbed in short sequence, the flytrap recognizes that "okay, this is a living creature crawling around...*chomp*" So, effectively, a venus flytrap doesn't really need a list of "special equipment," to catch its prey; it uses its own reflexes combined with, basically, the ability to count(how cool is that??) in order to snag its meals. On top of that, every overall plant will have numerous "heads," like a hydra, so if 1 gets prey, the whole plant gets fed. Venus flytraps are an endangered species of plant, and with a delicate disposition(and the capacity to live for decades), buying and growing a venus flytrap is a very serious commitment. Please think carefully and do research first. Thank you for your time.
Ehem! I am VERY excited to see what VERY COOL lookin monster in the thumbnail is! HMMMMMMMMM! Oh wow! It isn’t even in the got starn video. I wonder why!
I agree with Venus flytrap and they don't look that scary they're actually really cool except for the fact that one died because it got too much water before it was even fully grown
You should look into the book "The Savage Garden" by Peter D'Amato. He owns the largest public carnivorous plant collection in the world and has been responsible for the discovery of dozens of species. It has chapters on Pitcher plants (Sarracenia, Heliamphora, Cephalotus, Nepenthes), Sundews, Cobra Lilies, Butterworts, Bladderworts, Dewy Pines, Rainbow Plants, Bromeliads, and Flytraps, as well as general care!
I read in a scientific magazine that the hairs on the insides of the leaves of the Venus fly-trap are used to determine the size of an insect. In the magazine, it said that if an insect lands on the plant and only touches one hair, the plant leaves it alone because it's not worth the effort. If 3 hairs are touched at the same time, the insect is to big for the plant and it will not close. If 2 hairs are touched at the same time, the plant will close. If you check wikipedia, you will see that they give another explanation. I don't know if the magazine was wrong - it was published in the mid 90´s and new facts may have come out as a result of further research, or Wikipedia is wrong. I'll leave it up to you to decide what you want to believe.
wow! great video! i always was interested in these plants. but there was some that i did not know that was even real!
So nice of you. Great to know that you love plants.

Sundew is the scariest. I mean it’s easily the most active in catching its prey when it rolls them up like a sweet roll.
SO BRUTAL! I LIKE THIS!!

Great video very informative
Anyone else had their mind blown by the tropical pincher because how it looks like that one Pokémon?
Venus fly traps actually have little hairs inside that close when triggered :-)
You can see them in the video. So interesting!
true
It's like tripwire. They are so cool
I wouldn’t be surprised if rare or even endangered insects have been eaten by these plants...
I mean.... yeah. That’s not any different than them being eaten by a bird, though.
There are insects that go extinct all the time..and they find just as many new insects..that they never new about..just as much
I have a collection sarracenias in my garden, the 50cm tall pitchers are filled with insects almost to the top, ~200 insects in each pitcher, they're also the only carnivorous plants that can survive frost below -10C/14F.

I read in a scientific magazine that the hairs on the insides of the leaves of the Venus fly-trap are used to determine the size of an insect. In the magazine, it said that if an insect lands on the plant and only touches one hair, the plant leaves it alone because it's not worth the effort. If 3 hairs are touched at the same time, the insect is to big for the plant and it will not close. If 2 hairs are touched at the same time, the plant will close.
If you check wikipedia, you will see that they give another explanation. I don't know if the magazine was wrong - it was published in the mid 90´s and new facts may have come out as a result of further research, or Wikipedia is wrong. I'll leave it up to you to decide what you want to believe.
