Most carnivorous plants originate in soils that are deficient in natural sources of Nitrogen. Carnivorous plants (such as Venus flytraps - Dionea spp.) trap and digest insects to extract the Nitrogen (and other nutrients) from their bodies.

All carnivorous plants are intolerant to artificial fertilisers which can kill them if applied.
