What's good Hive!
Carnivorous Plants are one of the weirdest plants ever in our world. There are approximately 600 different kinds of species of these plants that evolve through time. They naturally grew on highly acidic soil with poor plant nutrients, which is the "natural base diet" of plants: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. As much as Charles Dawrin was interested to these Alien-like creatures, I for one stared caring and collecting them, starting at how they grow and how they feed and it was so amazing!
In this post, I want to share some of the plants that I have had for quite some time. I was very much interested in it. Their species and diet at the same time love their weirdness.
This is my entry for Round 20 of Photo Feed- Macro, I encourage every one to visit the community and join in the Photo contest!
Drosera Species
Drosera Capillaries
If you zoom in on the Photo, you would see how some of the traps are curled in, those are the dead insects that are being digested by the plant. It's truly bizarre and amazing at the same time.
The Resurrection
It's so weird thinking of it, the D. Capillaries does flower and grow seeds, but the most effective way to cultivate them is by cutting the old trap, and placing them on a wet moss under intense light
(I had my plants indoors, so they under grow light for 15-16 hours a day), after two weeks you can see small babies growing from the dead leaf. I kept thinking if they came from a mother leaf, and new plants grew on it.
Then I created a clone, it is definitely the same kind, but is it the same plant? 🤔 What do you think?
Flowering
Is one of the most amazing things to see. This is where I truly saw the Fibonacci sequence. It starts off with a stem curling from the middle and it would grow so long, longer than the plant itself, some about 2 feet long.
By the way, the photo above is another Droseraceae Species called D. Spatulata, and a week or two a small beautiful flower will blossom from it and close out and dry, creating hundreds of black micro seeds from flower pods.
