Bigger carnivorous plants would digest a small bird if it fell into one of their traps but a Venus flytrap is far too small. They eat flies and insects.
Yes. The "trap" is a flower, and therefore the plant is an angiosperm.
Refer to the the link below.
Green plant that can photosynthesis, but which require an alternative source of Nitrogen due to the poor soil (nitrogen lacking) soil they evolved in.
Plants are normally quiet small, between 15 and 20 cm (max) when fully grown. The plant consists of a number of "arms" or modified leaves that are arranged radially (whorled) around the centre of the plant. New leaves near the top and older ones to the bottom.
The Leaves are flat and elongated; at the end of each leaf is a modification which forms the "trap" of the plant. The modification consists of a hinged section which can close when it is activated, trapping a small insect between the 2 halves.
No, Venus Flytraps thrive in fairly warm, but moist places - like swamps, which have poor soils.
Yes. The Venus Flytrap only eats winged insects/flies as they are always readily available in their boggy environment. It wouldn't really be possible for a Venus Flytrap to eat anything but meat, as only animals that can fly into their trap will get eaten. Plants obviously can't fly.
The Venus fly trap benefits the ecosystem just like any other organism. It keeps the fly and insect population down and is food to other organisms.
Venus Flytraps eat flies and insects because their environment resulted in the need for nutrients contained in them. They adapted to that environment and developed the traps for catching flies.
The store is Waling or Puentespina Orchids and Tropical Plants Inc. at the Manila Seedling Bank Edsa cor Quezon Ave.
It is best to take a spray bottle full of distilled water (because the chlorine in tap water will kill them) and just spray the container or soil until it looks moist. How many times a week depends on the size of the pot or container.
Venus flytraps nees 4 hours of direct sunlight per day.
In many ways, yes. They are easy to take care of with a fair need of sunlight and water. It can be a good outdoor plant because without insects, it dies.
A venus fly trap will eat:
Ants
Flies
Spiders
Mosquitos
Maggots
Caterpillars
Beetles
Birds and possibly small rodents eat the Venus Flytrap.
A Venus Flytrap needs insects in order to survive like any other plant. As they typically grow in a boggy environment with few nutrients, insects are the best way for the Venus Flytrap to survive and feed on.
The thing that makes the Venus Flytrap special is because it can eat bugs.
Here are a few tips for looking after one...
They need at least 8 hours of sunlight.
Never give them tap water.
Give them rainwater or boil the water.
And never give them meat.
They don't need bugs they just need sun and water.
If you want to feed them then go to a local pet store and buy some bugs which lizards eat.
An insect or food particle is trapped in the closed leaves. The plant produces digestive liquids that dissolve almost everything in the food substance and it is absorbed by the leaves. What is left is waste material. When only he waste material is left, the leaves open and the waste falls out or is blown away y wind.
I don't think that there are Venus Flytraps in the Everglades.
Answer 1:
The Venus Flytrap is mainly green but the inside of its traps are red. It's spikes are darkish red/brown.
It is red on the inside (mouth) and green on the outside. It changes colour during the different seasons.
It could be green and red inside, or all green or red. It depends on what fly trap it is.
the venus fly trap is a lighter shade of green, than soild green, on the exterior. and light yellow on the interior.
Answer 2:
Venus Flytraps, when healthy, should have a green exterior and a red/pink interior in the mature traps. It the plant is kept in low lighting, it will become unhealthy and the inside of the traps will become paler going from red, to green and then to yellow.
If you buy a Venus Flytrap from the store and the traps are yellow, don't panic. It's because the store has low lighting. Gradually reintroduce it to sunlight and hour or so at a time before building up to full daylight. The pink colouring will return within a matter of days.
it could be green in the inside or red .or all red or green it depends on which one it is
Venus flytraps are plants, and plants do not hibernate. Since these plants live in hot, humid areas they often are active all year long, but if the weather gets too cool for them they may go dormant and stop growing or trapping insects until warm weather returns.
Venus Flytraps are native to a 60 mile radius around Wilmington, North Carolina, which includes part of the states of North or South Carolina.
If you are wondering about Venus Flytraps, this is a rather good website to go to (see related link below).
Not under the existing environmental conditions.
The planet Venus has many of the elements found on Earth, but conditions there are not hospitable to human life. It is too hot (average 464 °C or 867°F) and the carbon dioxide atmosphere has a crushing pressure nearly 100 times that at sea level on Earth (92 bar). Under these conditions, there is also no liquid water on the planet's surface, and the only "rain" (high up in the atmosphere) consists of sulfuric acid!
Floating Cities
Several novel proposals have suggested establishing aerial colonies 50 kilometers above the surface, where the temperature and pressure are closer to Earth's.
