Does the Venus Flytrap live in the desert?
No, Venus Flytraps thrive in fairly warm, but moist places - like swamps, which have poor soils.
Is there a venus flytrap in Saudi arabia?
The Venus flytrap is found in phosphorus poor soils such as bogs and savannahs. It is found in the Southeastern United States. There are some populations in Jamaica, but these are its only natural habitat.
Why does the Venus flytrap work as a trap?
To obtain nutrients is the reason why the Venus flytrap works as a trap.Specifically, the plant in question (Dionaea muscipula) is carnivorous. It operates a trapping mechanism that is fine-tuned to imprison such crawling arthropods as beetles and spiders. Scientists opine that the mechanism is a reflection of the nitrogen- and phosphorus-poor soils in which the Venus flytrap tends to grow.
What plants can you grow with a Venus Flytrap?
Basically other carnivorous plants such as sundews, as they all have the same adaptation because they occur naturally in Nitrogen deficient soils.
What is Venus' compostion?
is a soils
Where was the Venus flytrap found?
Subtropical wetlands of the eastern coastal United States of America is where the Venus flytrap was found.Specifically, the plant in question (Dionaea muscipula) is native to bogs and savannahs along the coast of the eastern USA. It needs to grow in nitrogen- and phosphorus-poor soils if it is to develop as expected. It supplements the lack of the above-mentioned nutrients in daily diets through trapping insects.
Where is the Venus Flytrap plant is found?
The Venus Flytrap is found in nitrogen and phosphorus-poor environments, such as bogs and wet savannahs. It survives in wet sandy and peaty soils. Although it has been successfully transplanted and grown in many places around the world, it is found natively only in North and South Carolina in the United States, North Carolina, Northern Florida, New Jersey and Pine Barrens.
How does the Venus flytrap catch insects?
ehh example a fly. The fly is not benifiting of the relationship with the venus fly trap. because the fly is the host she is being eating by the venus fly trap.but the venus fly trap is benifiting.
Does Venus flytrap use photosynthesis?
Venus flytraps get their energy from sugars produced by photosynthesis within their leaves.They eat insects as a source of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, because the soils where they live are lacking in this nutrient.
What does nutrient poor soils mean?
Without enough nitrogen, and minerals such as phosphorus and potassium, plants cannot create the molecules they need to grow and function. Soils without these elements (and others) have to be fertilized to grow crops. Growing certain crops can also restore at least some of the nitrogen. Some plants have adapted to nutrient-poor soils, such as the Venus flytrap, which gets organic material from insects it traps.
What does a Venus flytrap eat but flies?
Birds and possibly small rodents eat the Venus Flytrap.
What eats a Venus flytrap?
Flies and other flying insects supplement its nutrition from the soil on which it lives. Sometimes if there is a large Venus Flytrap it will eat a small frog or toad.The Venus Flytrap lives on soils that are poor in nutrients, and in particular nitrogen compounds, such as nitrates, that the roots can absorb. The insect "diet" provides additional nitrogen, enabling the plant to grow in places where it might not otherwise survive.

It will eat anything that fits inside it.It's in the name - flies!You could feed a Venus Flytrap flies, water and hamburger meat.You can feed Venus fly traps quite a lot of things, flies (obviously, that's why it is called what it is), Spiders and many other things, such as small bits of raw hamburger.You can put it by a window eg in your bathroom. I have found that it loves it there because it has fresh, live flies from the window! It's also a good idea to have a little bowl with about 2-4 mm of water in it. (Not tap water)You can also feed it by putting the fly/spider into the trap or you can let it catch the food all by itself. You shouldn't make it close with nothing in it very often, or it will get tired and die. So if you don't do that, your Venus fly trap will live a long time! Good luck!You can feed them any bug, but it will also eat small (live) frogs or toads.small flys buy not to small or not to big because they can egscap easly. If they are to small the fly can egscap throw there teeth and if they are to big the venus flytrap cant eat it because it cant fit in its mouth and by the way i an 11 i am Bethanie
