Stem pitcher plants, commonly known as Nepenthes, are a genus of carnivorous plants characterized by their unique pitcher-shaped leaves that trap and digest insects. These plants typically have long, climbing stems that can reach several meters in length, allowing them to grow in vertical spaces. The pitchers vary in size and shape, often featuring colorful markings to attract prey. Nepenthes thrive in nutrient-poor environments, primarily in tropical regions.

What kind of traps does the pitcher plant do?

Dissolving traps. When an insect flies inside a pitcher plant, the leaves don't close up immediately. Instead, it tumbles down the stem. At the bottom there is a seriously poisonous liquid called acid. The insect climbs up the stem, but slips down again. Eventually, they get so tired that they turn to unconsciousness and let themselves tumble back down into the stem, where they either drown or dissolve in the acid.
