Characteristics of Insectivorous Plants

The important characteristics of insectivorous plants are mentioned below:

Nitrogen Deficiency :

They are found in the places, where there is a lack of some nutrients, especially nitrogen. They entrap insects and digest them to suffice their nitrogen requirement.

Attractants :

The insectivorous plants are colourful and shiny in appearance to attract insects. They often have nectars and a pleasant odour to attract insects.

Inescapable Traps :

Many insectivorous plants have special or modified plant parts to trap insects. The mouth of the insectivorous plants has hair-lined lined edges that snap or shut as soon as the insect touches the hair, thereby, trapping the insects. Some of the plants’ stalks are covered with sticky mucus-like substances where the insect sticks and cannot move.

Digestive Enzymes and Organisms :

Some insectivorous plants secrete digestive enzymes that dissolve the insect for absorption. Others have bacteria or mites in their digestive tract that mimic the functions of the human digestive tract. They digest the prey for absorption by the plants.

Wet and Damp Habitats :

The insectivorous plants are found mostly in wet, damp, humid, and acidic soil, that is deficient in nutrients, such as swamps, bogs, wetlands, coastal plains, etc. They are found in the wet regions of North America, Australia, and tropical regions.
