Gift Republic GR200010: Grow It. Grow Your Own Carnivorous Plants, Green

Product Information

This Grow Carnivorous Plants section will help you grow and enjoy the more common and easier to grow carnivorous plants. Growlands indoor plant foods are made using seaweed extracts with added nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) content along with added minerals and nutrients such as calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, boron, Sodium, and blood meal in various qualities depending on the plant type. Enter the world of predatory plants (if you dare) and discover their inventive assortment of traps and sticky tricks. If you continue without changing your settings, we'll assume that you are happy to receive cookies on GiftRepublic. Drawn by the promise of a flower, the insect or small reptile entering the trap stimulates sensitive trigger hairs.

Water: Sit the pots in a tray filled with 1-2cm of distilled water or rainwater ( read more about water for CPs), adding water to the tray rather than top watering.

Small insects are immobilised by the sticky slime and larger victims may struggle to break free, coating themselves further in the mucilage - death is usually indirect, via suffocation. Their tiny traps grow up to one centimetre in length and capture prey including mosquito larvae, small fish and tadpoles.

Our Carnivorous Plant Compost can be used as Venus Flytrap Soil, Pitcher Plant Soil, and Sundew Soil. Growlands carnivorous plant soil mixture is predominantly used as high-grade Venus flytrap soil, Sundew Soil, and pitcher plant soil by carnivorous plant nurseries. Carnivory is such an efficient adaptation that it has evolved independently several times and occurs in unrelated plant families.Carnivorous plants have developed a terrific array of weird and wonderful adaptations that help them flourish in nutrient-poor environments. A slippery substance at the rim causes prey to lose its footing and slip into the base which is filled with digestive fluid. While feeding, shrews excrete directly into the pitcher, delivering useful, already-digested nutrients.
