The species is native to the wetlands of North and South Carolina. Its hatches are one of the most beautiful wonders of nature. The outer perimeter of the hatches is covered with nectar and small stiff hairs. The hatches are normally open at an angle of 60 °. When an insect is attracted to the sweet nectar, it enters the trap; it is then in contact with small hairs which trigger a rapid movement of the trap door which reacts in 1\/30 of a second. The plant then secretes an enzyme that dissolves the insect, turning it into a digestible meal. Traps have a limited number of false alarms, so do not stimulate them unnecessarily. The artificial stimulation of the traps causes the plant to lose a lot of energy. If no insects are caught, the plant could deteriorate. The hatch remains closed for several days, depriving the plant of capturing new prey, adding to its misfortune. After about 10 false stimuli, the trap door will no longer react.

It is among the tallest of all carnivorous plants, easily reaching 3 feet tall in nature. Leucophylla will produce traps each Spring, but it is in the Fall that it is the most spectacular. While most Sarracenia will slow down their development in the Fall, Leucophylla will produce its largest traps of the year. The traps produced in the Fall are larger and white than those produced in the Spring. The white coloring at the top of the hatches shows very well through the red veins. When grown in very hot regions, it can produce phyllodia, leaves without a hatch, in the middle of summer. The flowers are dark red. Cut the dead leaves to make room for the young shoots. They catch their prey by offering them a nectar which is secreted around the mouth of the plant and at its inner base. The insects will find the nectar, and if they take a wrong step, will fall into the trap. Once inside, retreat is impossible. Small, stiff hairs point downward, retaining insects. The inside of the hatch is also very slippery; even the insects with the best traction will not be able to get out. When the insect reaches the bottom, it is dissolved by enzymes, providing the plant with essential nutrients. It can germinate well in sphagnum moss as well as in a mixture of sphagnum moss and sand, which can be 30% to 100% sphagnum moss.

You can grow it in a hanging pot indoors, in a greenhouse or in a terrarium. Excellent for beginners. The leaves are long and cascade down. They develop in a rosette from a central stem and end in tendrils. Tendrils serve to support the plant as it grows, and trap doors develop from these tendrils. The hatches first develop like a blister, to reach their adult size in a matter of weeks. As the plant matures, the stems become long and the hatches turn shades of red and reach 8-9 inches long. The hatch opens and lets the digestive fluids appear at the bottom of the hatch. Preys are attracted to the colors of the trap and the nectar secreted under its cover and around the entrance to the trap. The hatch cover does not close. The hatch is very smooth, when an insect is attracted to it, it cannot remain gripped there and slips inside the hatch. The nectar is also very intoxicating. The lower part of the hatch is covered with digestive glands that quickly dissolve the softer parts of the insect, the rest sinking into soup at the bottom of the hatch. The plant has two kinds of hatches, lower and upper. For some species the 2 traps are alike, for others, they are so different that one would think of 2 different species. The top hatches are usually smaller than the bottom ones, often they have no wings and they are attached to the tendrils from behind. The upper tendrils, before forming the upper hatches, wrap around objects to support the rod. Nepenthes are dioecious, the male and female flowers are on different plants.

When an insect is attracted to the sweet nectar, it enters the trap; it is then in contact with small hairs which trigger a rapid movement of the trap door which reacts in 1\/30 of a second. The plant then secretes an enzyme that dissolves the insect, turning it into a digestible meal. Traps have a limited number of false alarms, so do not stimulate them unnecessarily. The artificial stimulation of the traps causes the plant to lose a lot of energy. If no insects are caught, the plant could deteriorate. The hatch remains closed for several days, depriving the plant of capturing new prey, adding to its misfortune. After about 10 false stimuli, the trap door will no longer react.

Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings. Water must be distilled or rain water because they do not tolerate city or hard water. Use the water tray methode when in growth in Winter. Place a pie pan or large saucer, with about an inch of water in it, under the pot. Elevate the pot by placing pebbles under it so that the base of the pot is barely in contact with the water, not submerged; the growing medium must stay moist, but never soggy.

These are interesting, frost-tender, insectivorous perennials that are mostly epiphytic, and with some of the leaves forming a dangling, lidded, colored pitcher to trap and digest insects. Typical for Nepenthes Albomarginata is the white collar of velvety hairs directly beneath the peristome. The red pitchers can be up to 15 cm high, and their texture is velvet-like due to very short hairs. N. Albomarginata has a unique morphological feature: a rim of living white trichomes directly below the peristome. The rim's hairs tend to be missing from pitchers that have caught termites. Researchers say \"For several days, nothing would happen, then, after a single night, the pitchers would fill with termites and their rim hairs would disappear.\" They investigated this phenomenon by placing fresh intact pitchers, together with pitchers with their white rims removed, near to the head of foraging columns of the termite Hospitalitermes bicolor. When the column found the pitcher, termites grazed on the rim. While grazing, many termites (both workers and soldiers) fell into the pitchers. Once in the pitcher, they were unable to climb out. They counted up to 22 individuals per minute falling into the pitchers and noted that the capture rate could easily exceed this for denser columns. After about an hour, the hairs were all gone and the pitcher was evidently no longer attractive to termites (and was filled with termites trying to escape). It is not known how the trichomes lure termites to the plant. They detected no long-range olfactory attraction during his experiments and noted that \"all contacts seemed to happen by chance, with termites often missing pitchers less than 1 cm away from them.\" They also point out that N. Albomarginata is the only plant species to offer its tissue as bait. Hardiness zones: 11(4c\/40f) The plants can be found in Kerangas (heath) forests on poor, sandy soil, in summit vegetation of lower mountains or in open areas with peat, limestone or sand soil, from sea level up to 1000 m. They are easy to grow but rarely found growing together with other Nepenthes species.

This Sundew is a temperate perennial plant. Drosera intermedia is found in shallow water in bogs and seeps of eastern North America, Europe, and high elevations in South America. The whole plant height 2-8 inches. The blades are 2-3 times as long as wide. The upper surface of blades are covered with reddish, glandular hairs tipped with a sticky, glutinous secretion that traps insects. The leaves, curl around any captured prey like a fist. It is distinguished from the other North Country Sundew, the Round Leaf Sundew, Drosera rotundifolia, by the oblong, rather than round leaf. The flowers are 1\/4 inch wide, white to pale pink, with 5 petals and 5 sepals, and appear between June and September. The plants eat small insects to provide them with the azote which is lacking where it lives. When an insect becomes entangled in the hairs, the leaves bend inwards so that the insect comes into contact with fine, inner hairs. Enzymes are produced by the hairs which dissolve the insect, which is then absorbed by the leaf. Only the insect's exoskeleton remains which blows away when the leaf hairs uncurl to become erect again, ready for the next meal. Hardiness zones 6-9, (-20°C\/-5°F, -5°C\/25°F) in Winter. They should be grown in bright light, but with protection from full midday sun. In cloudy coastal areas, artificial light is a required. They like cool temperatures. Temperatures should be kept between 20°C\/68°F, 25°C \/ 80°F in growing season. The North American and European varieties require a definite Winter season to survive long term. You should consider growing them outside year round if you live in their natural range. Dormant plants should be kept damp but not wet. They need a dormant period of about 3 months in the Winter. In the Winter, when food is scarce the leaves die back to form a tight resting bud. The typical heated home is too warm in the Winter. During dormancy they should be kept cool and only damp. The entire planter may be moved to an area where the temperature will remain below freezing point, down to -10°F. Protect from dry freezing wind during deep freezes by covering the plant with black plastic. Uncover the plant when the deep freeze and dry freezing wind is over. Otherwise, place it in a refrigerator for 3 months in a ziplock bag. At this time the compost should be allowed to dry slightly. Use peat moss or a mix with up to 50% sand. There's no need to fertilize, as the plant relies on insects for food. Water must be continually available to the roots. Good for an acidic peat bog garden if you've got one. Full sun is preferred. Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings. Drosera intermedia likes short pots to be close to the water level and to be very wet when growing. Water must be distilled or rain water because they do not tolerate city or hard water. It is a good idea to place a pie pan or large saucer, with about an inch of water in it, under the pot.

One set lures the prey to the plant while the other set makes sure that whatever lands on the surface of leaf will get stuck and eventually exhaust itself.

Over time you will have a breath taking display of plants to propagate from via seed or division. If your taking division from your plant. Wait until the small plant-lets that form around the base are at least 1\/3 the size of the main parent plant. This allows the plant to start forming its own root system before being separated.

This is a perenial which can reach 35 cm, 14 inches. The leaves are edged with long hairs, each with a sticky drop on the end of the hair. Hairs are red in colour. Leaves can be as wide as 1 cm. Each leaf is entire, circular, covered with sticky, shinny, red tentacles. This Drosera develops small white flowers on 3\" long flower stems in Summer. The flowers have 5 regular parts and are up to 7 mm wide. They are white sometimes pink. Blooms first appear in early Summer and continue into mid Fall. The plants eat small insects to provide them with the azote which is lacking where it lives. When an insect becomes entangled in the hairs, the leaves bend inwards so that the insect comes into contact with fine, inner hairs. Enzymes are produced by the hairs which dissolve the insect, which is then absorbed by the leaf. Only the insect's exoskeleton remains which blows away when the leaf hairs uncurl to become erect again, ready for the next meal. Hardiness zone 3-8, (-37°C\/-35°F, -10°C\/-15°F) in Winter. They should be grown in bright light, but with protection from full midday sun. In cloudy coastal areas, artificial light is a required. They like cool temperatures. Temperatures should be kept between 20°C\/68°F, 25°C \/ 80°F in growing season. They require seasons in order to survive long term. They need a dormant period of about 3 months in the Winter. In the Winter, when food is scarce the leaves die back to form a tight resting bud. The typical heated home is too warm in the Winter. During dormancy they should be kept cool and only damp. The entire planter may be moved to an area where the temperature will remain below freezing point, down to -10°F. Protect from dry freezing wind during deep freezes by covering the plant with black plastic. Uncover the plant when the deep freeze and dry freezing wind is over. Otherwise, place it in a refrigerator for 3 months in a ziplock bag. At this time the compost should be allowed to dry slightly. It grows in bogs, swamps and wet acid soils. A soil mix of one part peat moss for one part sand usually works well. There's no need to fertilize, as the plant relies on insects for food. Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings. Drosera Rotundifolia likes short pots to be close to the water level and to be very wet when growing. Water must be distilled or rain water because they do not tolerate city or hard water. It is a good idea to place a pie pan or large saucer, with about an inch of water in it, under the pot.

This plant is almost extinct in the wild now. This very rare pitcherplant is restricted to Northeastern Alabama, North Georgia, and Southwestern North Carolina. A historical record exists for Tennessee. In nature, you can find it in wet areas, bogs swamps and moist woods and sandy floodplans. The pitchers are 20 to 75 centimeters in length by 6 to 10 centimeters in circumference at the orifice. It only produces nice pitchers in the Spring. The veins become darker and more pronounced with age. Your Sarracenia oreophila will slow down in growth and drop their pitchers by November. In its place will be non-carnivorous Winter leaves called phyllodia. This is perfectly normal. In mid-Summer and in the Fall it produces recurved phyllodia, non-pitcher leaves, that are 5 to 18 cm in length. The phyllodia last until the next Spring and should not be cut off until they turn brown. Its Winter leaves will provide the plant energy through photosynthesis. They trap their prey by offering them nectar to sip which is secreted around the lip of the plant and also at the base of the lid. Flying and crawling insects will find the nectar and if they take a wrong step, they will tumble into the pitcher. Once inside, they will find that retreat is impossible, due to short stiff hairs pointing downward. The inside of the pitchers are also very slippery, even to insects with the best traction. Once the insect reaches the bottom it is dissolved by enzymes in the bottom of the pitcher and the nutrient value is absorbed by the plant. The flowers have five sepals and five petals. They are green and yellow-green. From mid-March to early June the solitary, nodding yellow flowers develop and are approximately 4 to 5.5 centimeters in length. The scape curves at the end so that the flower points down. The flower stalk is 45 to 70 centimeters in length. From July to August, the fruit develops containing numerous seeds. Hardiness zones 8-9, (-10°C\/15°F,-5°C\/25°F) in Winter. They require seasons in order to survive long term. Sarracenia Oreophila go dormant during the Winter months, requiring 3-4 months of Winter dormancy. This plant is one of the first to emerge from dormancy, and one of the first to go dormant. If it is a very warm Summer, this plant can go into dormancy as early as September. Cool Summers will extend its growing period into October and November. The typical heated home is too warm in the Winter. The entire planter may be moved to an area where the temperature will remain between 2°C\/35°F and 5°C\/40°F. During the Winter months, restrict watering somewhat, but never allow the plants to dry completely. If left outside during Winter, protect them from dry freezing wind during deep freezes by covering the plant with black plastic. Uncover the plant when the deep freeze and dry freezing wind is over. Sarracenia oreophila does well in a soil mixture of 1 part peat moss and 1 part perlite. It requires nutrient-free soil that provides good drainage. Never use potting soil or fertilizer. Potting soil and fertilizer will kill your plant. Adult plants enjoy full sun outdoors. During the growing season, grow your plant outside in full sun, with a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight for vigorous growth. Keep the pot in standing water to keep the soil wet at all times in growing season. The rest of they year the soil should always be just damp as they can rot if kept too wet. Never allow the soil to dry out completely. Water must be distilled or rain water because they do not tolerate city or hard water. It is a good idea to place a pie pan or large saucer, with about an inch of water in it, under the pot.

The pitchers are produced each year from stems arising from the rhizomes and remain evergreen. Clip off old leaves to make way for flower buds and new leaf growth. The pitchers are slender at the basal rosette, rapidly becoming swollen higher up. Their outer surface is slippery smooth. They are usually yellow-green to dark purple and most commonly a middle variation with strong red venation. In full sunlight the pitchers are dark red coloured. The hood on the pitcher is positioned vertically; the pitcher usually being full or partly full of rainwater. Insects are attracted to the colorful leaf rosettes that resemble flowers; the red lip of the pitcher is particularly attractive. Red veins that lead downward are baited with nectar. The animal falls into the pitcher, which contains rain, dew, and a digestive enzyme that soon dissolves the victim. Once inside, they will find that retreat is impossible, due to short stiff hairs pointing downward. The inside of the pitchers are also very slippery, even to insects with the best traction. It is necessary for rain to be present inside the pitcher to speed up the process of digestion. With this in mind, plants grown indoors should have a little rainwater poured into the pitchers as they open.

It catches its prey�chiefly insects and arachnids�with a trapping structure triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike.

The outer perimeter of the hatches is covered with nectar and small stiff hairs. The hatches are normally open at an angle of 60 �. When an insect is attracted to the sweet nectar, it enters the trap; it is then in contact with small hairs which trigger a rapid movement of the trap door which reacts in 1\/30 of a second. The plant then secretes an enzyme that dissolves the insect, turning it into a digestible meal. Traps have a limited number of false alarms, so do not stimulate them unnecessarily. The artificial stimulation of the traps causes the plant to lose a lot of energy. If no insects are caught, the plant could deteriorate. The hatch remains closed for several days, depriving the plant of capturing new prey, adding to its misfortune. After about 10 false stimuli, the trap door will no longer react.

It catches its prey chiefly insects and arachnids with a trapping structure triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against wasting energy by trapping objects with no nutritional value, and the plant will only begin digestion after five more stimuli to ensure it has caught a live bug worthy of consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpeed of closing can vary depending on the amount of humidity, light, size of prey, and general growing conditions.

The species is native to the wetlands of North and South Carolina. Its hatches are one of the most beautiful wonders of nature. The outer perimeter of the hatches is covered with nectar and small stiff hairs. The hatches are normally open at an angle of 60 . When an insect is attracted to the sweet nectar, it enters the trap; it is then in contact with small hairs which trigger a rapid movement of the trap door which reacts in 1\/30 of a second. The plant then secretes an enzyme that dissolves the insect, turning it into a digestible meal. Traps have a limited number of false alarms, so do not stimulate them unnecessarily. The artificial stimulation of the traps causes the plant to lose a lot of energy. If no insects are caught, the plant could deteriorate. The hatch remains closed for several days, depriving the plant of capturing new prey, adding to its misfortune. After about 10 false stimuli, the trap door will no longer react. If you grow your Venus Flytrap in a place where it has nothing to eat, you can give it one to two flies per month.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNever feed your Dionaea a hamburger or other meat, the fat contained in the meat will be fatal. Dionaea muscipula flowers in May and June, a white flowering with 5 petals overhangs the foliage. The bonus of letting them bloom is that they will produce seeds. Six to eight weeks after flowering, the ovoid capsule of the fruit having matured, release several small black seeds. The leaves can reach 13 cm long. The Dionaea constantly renew their leaves; old ones die and new ones will replace them. Always remove dead leaves to prevent infections. Death and regeneration of leaves is part of the life cycle of the plant, it does not mean that the plant is not healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVenus Flytrap is very easy to grow, as long as you get the right conditions she can live for over 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse a soil composed of 70% sphagnum moss and 30% perlite. You can also only use sphagnum moss, this is the medium in which the plant grows in nature. The plant does not need to be fertilized, this will damage the plant. If it doesn't die, it won't produce traps. Venus Flytrap needs an moist atmosphere and a moist soil. It is a good idea to place a saucer containing an inch of water, under the pot. Raise the pot by placing stones, so that the base of the pot is barely in contact with the water. This will provide the plant with a constant source of moisture. Humidity should be between 60-80%. The water should be distilled or rainwater, since it does not tolerate tap water. The plant has an active growth period from May to October. During this period, the soil should always be moist. In winter, keep the soil barely moist. They need seasons to live long term. Venus Flytrap needs a dormancy period in Winter of about 3 months. A house is too hot for this plant in Winter. The plant should be moved to a location where the temperature will remain between 2  C \/ 35  F and 5  C \/ 40  F. It could be the vegetable compartment of your refrigerator.

It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids—with a trapping structure triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against wasting energy by trapping objects with no nutritional value, and the plant will only begin digestion after five more stimuli to ensure it has caught a live bug worthy of consumption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpeed of closing can vary depending on the amount of humidity, light, size of prey, and general growing conditions.

The species is native to the wetlands of North and South Carolina. Its hatches are one of the most beautiful wonders of nature. The outer perimeter of the hatches is covered with nectar and small stiff hairs. The hatches are normally open at an angle of 60  . When an insect is attracted to the sweet nectar, it enters the trap; it is then in contact with small hairs which trigger a rapid movement of the trap door which reacts in 1\/30 of a second. The plant then secretes an enzyme that dissolves the insect, turning it into a digestible meal. Traps have a limited number of false alarms, so do not stimulate them unnecessarily. The artificial stimulation of the traps causes the plant to lose a lot of energy. If no insects are caught, the plant could deteriorate. The hatch remains closed for several days, depriving the plant of capturing new prey, adding to its misfortune. After about 10 false stimuli, the trap door will no longer react. If you grow your Venus Flytrap in a place where it has nothing to eat, you can give it one to two flies per month.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNever feed your Dionaea a hamburger or other meat, the fat contained in the meat will be fatal. Dionaea muscipula flowers in May and June, a white flowering with 5 petals overhangs the foliage. The bonus of letting them bloom is that they will produce seeds. Six to eight weeks after flowering, the ovoid capsule of the fruit having matured, release several small black seeds. The leaves can reach 13 cm long. The Dionaea constantly renew their leaves; old ones die and new ones will replace them. Always remove dead leaves to prevent infections. Death and regeneration of leaves is part of the life cycle of the plant, it does not mean that the plant is not healthy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVenus Flytrap is very easy to grow, as long as you get the right conditions she can live for over 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse a soil composed of 70% sphagnum moss and 30% perlite. You can also only use sphagnum moss, this is the medium in which the plant grows in nature. The plant does not need to be fertilized, this will damage the plant. If it doesn't die, it won't produce traps. Venus Flytrap needs an moist atmosphere and a moist soil. It is a good idea to place a saucer containing an inch of water, under the pot. Raise the pot by placing stones, so that the base of the pot is barely in contact with the water. This will provide the plant with a constant source of moisture. Humidity should be between 60-80%. The water should be distilled or rainwater, since it does not tolerate tap water. The plant has an active growth period from May to October. During this period, the soil should always be moist. In winter, keep the soil barely moist. They need seasons to live long term. Venus Flytrap needs a dormancy period in Winter of about 3 months. A house is too hot for this plant in Winter. The plant should be moved to a location where the temperature will remain between 2   C \/ 35   F and 5   C \/ 40   F. It could be the vegetable compartment of your refrigerator. Or the bulb can be removed, sprayed with fungicide, wrapped in live sphagnum moss, placed in a plastic bag and in the cold. When the plant goes dormant, all large shoots will die, leaving only a few small leaves, or even just the bulb and its root system. The Dionaea require a lot of light; the stems are thus firmer and the hatches reddish a little. However, protect from full midday sun.

When insects are first trapped, the leaves roll lengthwise by thigmotropism toward the center. This aids digestion by bringing more digestive glands in contact with the prey. The plant leaf surrounds the prey within an hour while tentacles continue to move to further trap the prey. Digestion takes well over 6 hours after a prey's original ensnarement.

It is sometimes treated as two subspecies of S. rubra. Like other members of the genus Sarracenia, S. alabamensis traps insects using a rolled leaf, which in this species is finely pubescent and between 20 cm and 65 cm tall. It also forms large clumps within a few years. The uppermost part of the leaf is flared into a lid (the operculum), which prevents excess rain from entering the pitcher and diluting the digestive secretions within. The upper regions of the pitcher are covered in short, stiff, downwards-pointing hairs, which serve to guide insects alighting on the upper portions of the leaf towards the opening of the pitcher tube. The opening of the pitcher tube is retroflexed into a 'nectar roll' or peristome, whose surface is studded with nectar-secreting glands. Prey entering the tube find that their footing is made extremely uncertain by the smooth, waxy secretions found on the surfaces of the upper portion of the tube. Insects losing their footing on this surface plummet to the bottom of the tube, where a combination of digestive fluid, wetting agents and inward-pointing hairs prevent their escape. Some large insects (such as wasps) have been reported to escape from the pitchers on occasion, by chewing their way out through the wall of the tube.","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50075508605248,"sku":"38783","price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4335\/8272\/files\/3129906833.jpg?v=1738901885"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4335\/8272\/collections\/ae6d301af45a2d3d4ae79b33178d3648_917c975c-3777-46b6-bd3d-8b762c4cceb9.png?v=1734742966","url":"https:\/\/www.stargazerexotics.ca\/collections\/carnivorous-species-2.oembed?page=2","provider":"Stargazer Exotics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
