Venus Flytrap

A Venus fly trap needs 12 hours of sunlight each day, or 6 hours of artificial light. Of course, it need flies to feed on. You also need to keep the soil of the VFT moist at all times. Some people say VFT plants are the hardest plants to take care of. Good luck with your plant!

They will just need plenty of water and sunlight. But they do eat little small gnats that are in thier soil.

The Venus Flytrap has been successfully transplanted and grown in many different countries and on the majority of the continents around the world. It is; however, native to a small area of the United States, a 60 mile radius around Wilmington, North Carolina in the states of North and South Carolina.

Those are called 'triggering hairs' that do exactly what it says on the tin! They 'trigger' any movement that enters the leaf, and cause it to shut like a trap, hence the name, Venus "Flytrap".

If you live in a humid area, you could get away with putting it in a garden. Otherwise you may wish to invest in a terrarium. Be sure to have supply of peat moss and sand with nutrients similar to a bog.

The Venus Flytrap belongs to the Plantae kingdom.
Plantae
it goes in the plant kingdom, of course.
Plantea or plant still even thought it is carnivorous, technically it is still a plant. Hope this helps T.M.M :-)

I think they really don't have to defend themselves. But maybe their bright colors scare other predators away.

No, it is just a trap and not a very brutal one, just enough to hold a fly. In order for the plant to hurt you, you would have to leave you finger (or whatever) in the trap until the digestive enzymes have a chance to burn through your epidermis, which would be days.

Also, the plant does not have teeth really. They only can put out enough pressure to crush their prey.

They are both multicellular and are autotrophs, wich means they create their own food.

Can't get enough nutrition from soil Though it's technically carnivorous, a plant that captures and digests insects as a source of nutrients is actually called insectivorous. The reason it needs meat is simply that that's how it lives; in addition to the regular requirements of CO2, water and sunlight, it gets most of its nutrition from the insects it traps, rather than the earth. This is due to its native habitat: a bog. Bogs are nitrogen-poor, so the earth cannot provide this nutrition. It also eats meat because it despises being in the sun because the sun is very rude, ya see back in vietnam the flytraps and the sun had a war and really don't like each other.

Yes, Venus Flytraps are good at catching and eating insects.

Yes, the venus flytrap is a carnivore because it consumes any insect it can trap, and those insects provide nourishment for the plant with by way of their meat content. Because it only consumes insects and other tiny bugs some people think that the venus flytrap is a more specialised type of carnivore called an insectivore.

As soon as you see any signs of flowering, cut the flowering parts off.

There are seventeen different species of the Venus Flytrap.

Bugs land on the leaf and then it snaps shut!

No, but it will kill the odd couple. What is remarkable about the functioning of the Venus Flytrap is that a prey has to come in contact with two trigger hairs in succession or touch one hair twice, for the lobes to close in less than 0.1 seconds! This is to ensure that it does not waste energy in trapping a fallen leaf or get activated by a raindrop. This intelligent trap tightens and increases its pace of digestion if it senses the prey trying to escape. Digestion usually takes about 10 days. If the prey is very small and manages to escape, the trap will reopen within 12 hours. It is a rare occurrence for a trap to catch and digest more than 3 preys in its lifetime.

Muscles are tissue found in animal organisms. The venus flytrap is a plant, it does not have muscles.

try to place the plant in a place where it would be save

Venus Flytrap was created in 1768.

It doesn't have to. It just begins the slow process of digestion, and at some point the insect prey will expire (unless it escapes).

Most predators, animals as well as plants, do not wait until their prey is "dead" to begin consuming it. In the case of larger animals, they are usually deceased, but not always. Sharks and snakes swallow some prey whole, and in rare cases the prey (such as recently eaten fish) have been found still alive inside.

No. Its predators are us and its prey are many insects. Although we don't eat them they are almost extinct because of us, because of how we make them household pets, and take them out of their habitats but naturally they don't have many predators, except the grasshopper.

The Venus fly trap grows in soil that is poor in nitrogen and phosphorous. This soil cannot provide sufficient nutrients for the formation of proteins. The fly trap has adapted to eat insects in order to provide itself with necessary nutrients.

No, but Walgreens does.

Savannah Waz Here ya this ish me have a problem wit it to bad!!!!!! Cause IM BACK U AIN'T GUNNA DO JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOOL !!!!!!! SO TOO BAD AND KYLE HOOVER HAS PROBLEMS !!! GET IT STRAIGHT FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!PPPPPPUUUUUNNNNKKKK

A leave or leaf because it is really just two leafs with small hairs that tell the leaves to close or open.
