phazan Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Hey all! I got an new terrarium and I put a pitcher plant, a venus fly trap, and a sundew plant. They all eat bugs, but the venus fly trap is the best to watch. Here are some pictures I took of them today. I might post a video of the VTF eating later... And here is how it looks overall. This the ''nighttime'' light for the plants. Well its more for the cool look it gives my room at night! I have a UV light for the daytime. Feed me Seymour!!! This is the pitcher plant. The bugs go into the ''pitcher'' and they cant get out. There is acid at the bottom that kills them. This is the sundew plant. The bugs get stuck on the ''dew'' and the leaf wraps around it and kills it. Here is the venus fly trap. Later I will train him to eat people. Cool Fact: I left this guy in the pot it came in so I can stick him in the fridge in the winter!
Patrick Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I didnt know you could put those plants in the fridge! (Though Im really not willing to try that. )
phazan Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 ^Ya, it is weird. They are from the Carolinas and if they dont get a dormant period (at leased 6 weeks-about 30-45 Temp.) they wont be very healthy!
Hurricane Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 FEED ME SEYMOUR!!!! LOL!!! Little Shop Of Horrors flashback, I had to play the plant in our school version of it! GARH I AM THE PEOPLE EATING PLANT!!!
viking86 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Thats awesome! I had a venus fly trap not too long ago, but it died because some idiot forgot to give it water... Edit: Found the topic with the pictures of it http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18298
AllisonY2K Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 so just don't feed your venus fly trap blood and you're safe.
rcoasters Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 so just don't feed your venus fly trap blood and you're safe. Can I ask why no blood ? By the way, cool plants but viking86's plant are more awesome than those for now ...
LOVE SFKK Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Better keep this one on the down low or all those PETA frea... i mean people will be on your case (lol)
phazan Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 ^Actually I have a video....when it was alive.. I have to find it though, it's lost in my computer somewhere. I don't get it. I went out and bought special soil for them, I fed them reverse osmosis water, and did every thing that the internet said, and they DIED!! Only one is left, and it is growing really well though. Now that I said that, it will probably die in a few days...
goleafsgo Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Thats awesome!I would love to see some video! yep, throw a fly in there and take a video
