@BrianSwimmy it's either the flies are too large or the plant is weak. once the fly is stuck, it only takes overnight for the leaf to be wrapped around the fly
piranhaboy01, i can see that the plant gets the prey stuck, but then what happens? How does it eat and digest it? it doesnt have any stomach fluid like venus fly traps and pichter plants.
Indeed they do have fluid. Those shiny beads contain glues and enzymes. The glue holds the prey and then the plant begins to "sweat" over the insect. Then the plant drinks the liquid back after dissolving the prey.
You could totaly use carnivorous plants in place of citronella and Off spray at a picnic!!! Just put the flower pots next to your guests!!
