Picking Carnivorous Plants by Understanding Trapping Mechanisms All carnivorous plants make use of the attract-lure-trap method. But there are other more specific mechanisms as well, and understanding them will help you pick the right plant for your backyard. Here are some tips on which types of plants use which trapping methods: Flypaper Butterworts and sundew plants often use a natural glue-like substance for trapping their prey. These plants are able to trap tinier insects in the likes of flies and mosquitoes. They spew an extremely sticky glue through their mucilage glands (may be short like those of the butterworts, or longer like those of the sundews), then corner any smaller insects which they can feed on.

Pitcher plants are some of the more common carnivorous plants that use pitfall traps. These plants can trap both small and big organisms, sometimes as big as rodents. They are actually passive by nature; they only catch preys that have slipped through their opening and down to their chambers. A pitcher plant’s chamber contains a lot of acidic enzymes that normally work to digest the plant’s food. Snap Trap Venus flytraps and waterwheels are two types of carnivorous plants which usually sue the snap trap mechanism. Upon detecting insects on their clamp-like leaves, these plants immediately close and trap their prey. As opposed to other trap mechanisms of carnivorous plants, the snap trap is an abrupt reaction in which the plant captures its prey and keeps it until it is completely digested. Lobster Pot Trap In a lobster pot trap, which is common to aquatic carnivorous plants, preys are easily led inside a plant but cannot exit without extreme difficulty. These plants have roots and leaves pointing to a particular direction, enabling them to trap their prey without problems. Corkscrew and genlisea plants are known users of this technique. Borderline Carnivore Borderline carnivores use almost the same trapping mechanisms as carnivorous plants. However, instead of actually eating their prey, borderline carnivores just absorb nutrients from insects they have trapped. A few examples of such plants are Catopsis barteroniana, Roridula and Ibicella. Just by looking into their trapping mechanisms, carnivorous plants can be easily identified.With this information, you can find out which types of these plants are best to have in your garden. Of course, it also pays to do a little more research. The Internet should be your best resource for this. Another thing you can do is ask people you know, people who may have carnivorous plants in their own backyards. They can give you tips based on their own experience. There are other factors you can consider when choosing which carnivorous plants to have, and they may be able to help you with that.
