Pitcher Plants

Fern

The leaves may be dying, which is natural. If the leaves are exposed to extreme sunlight, it may be burning. If this is so, allow the plant less extreme light. It depends upon the species; oreophila goes into dormancy relatively early.

You must purchase level two in your choice of faction. Whether that be nature, or magic. After you've done this, the pitcher plant [nature] will appear to the left of the Alchemy lab. In the area where the kids run off to when "nature calls."

The families Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae are the best-known and largest groups of pitcher plants.

Nepenthes

Awn

it smells like a bad strawberry

The pitcher plant belongs to the Sarracenia Family. :)

you die.

The entire "pitcher" of the Pitcher plant contains chlorophyll is green and can photosynthesise

Their Protective Structure is their Sharp Teeth:L Yeah men :))Not sure :)

Origin: Coastlines of North Carolina

Trap Type: Fast-snapping Active Traps

Favorite Food: Houseflies

Scientific Name: Dionaea muscipula

A Venus Fly trap is one of the most amazing plants in the world. Their jaws-of-death move with lightning fast speed to trap the unlucky bug that lands on one of the plant's sweet pads. Venus fly trap leaves have sensors that detect motion inside its mouth. After one is moved, the trap gets poised to snap shut. After a second hit, it snaps shut! This two-hit requirement keeps a venus fly trap from closing on water, wind, or a still object such as a leaf.

Origin: Southeast United States

Trap Type: Digestive Tube Traps

Favorite Food: Yellow Jackets

Dislikes: Getting Stepped On

Care Level: Easy

Scientific Name: Sarracenia

The pitcher plant is one of the most famous carnivorous plants. They are known for their large size and can grow up to three feet tall! The name pitcher plant comes from the fact that their long tubular traps resemble pitchers of water. Some kinds of pitcher plant species actually fill up with water to aid in capturing and digesting their food. They can catch and eat any kind of bug and love larger bugs--crickets, grasshoppers, and even wasps and bees, but please do not hand feed these dangerous bugs to your pitcher plant.

The most common pitcher plant species are the North American pitcher plants. These plants grow mostly in the Southeast United States, but can be found all the way up the East Coast and across the Midwest. They like humid boggy conditions and a pitcher plant will prosper in sandy acidic soil. A pitcher plant will produce a tall beautiful flower in the spring which can grow into a seed pod containing hundreds of seeds. In a thought of mercy, the pitcher plant will grow its flowers earlier in the spring than its traps so it does not devour the friendly bugs who pollinate the flowers.

A pitcher plant works by creating an unescapable trap for a bug. First, a bug smells a nice nectar smell and is drawn towards the beautiful green, red, yellow, and even purple colors on the plants. As the bug lands on the neck of the pitcher, it becomes shaded by the hood, losing track of where the light is coming from. Sharp downward pointing hairs act as bayonets inside the pitcher plant that force the bug down the tube. The wall underneath these hairs is very slipperly, eliminating any chance for escape. As the bug slides down the long tube, it gets wedged against the narrowing tube. As it comes to rest, it will be slowly digested and become a tasty meal for the pitcher plant.

The purple pitcher plant is a beautiful and unique plant. Queen Victoria chose this plant to put on the Newfoundland penny. In 1954, it was chosen as the floral emblem of Newfoundland and Labrador. Charles Darwin called it "the most wonderful in the world''.

North American pitcher plants of the genus Sarracenia. .... range in diameter from 2 millimeters (the sizeof a pinhead) to about 4 millimeters (the size of a BB).

no i guess muwhaha

Pitcher plants are vascular plants.

This trapping mechanism is for the trumpet pitcher only.

The lid is basically an advertisement in the pitcher plant. The bottom side of the pitcher plant is covered with nectar and microscopic downward pointing hair. When any insect comes to collect the nectar the ant gets a downward thrust from the microscopic hair and falls into the liquid. Without the lid the pitcher plant will not be able to catch insects.

The diameter of a pitcher's mound 18 feet and is 10 1/2 inches high.

A standard pitcher's rubber is 24 inches by 6 inches.
