[SuperControlRoom]

[masterquadbiker]

[masterquadbiker]

[mathboy9809]

How long do they live?

[emc201983]

[mathboy9809]

@emc201983 the wgole plant. Sorry for the delay

[TheRafield]

Traps can eat 4-5 insects depending on its size and healthy plants can live 20-25 years.

[MiniDiablo1996]

@emc201983 i would like to know how long the plant stays alive

[emc201983]

@MiniDiablo1996 my plant is about 10 years old... think wikipedia can give answers ;-)

[AndiVicio]

@MiniDiablo1996 i saw once that they can live like 25 years, amazing if u ask me!

[MiniDiablo1996]

@AndiVicio yup and thnx : )

[WetterTeamLukas]

i love you time lapse videos ;)

realy cool!

[volatilesquid]

don't feed your fly trap ants, wasps, bee's or insects that are predatory or live in colonies, they eject mild corrosive/poisonous substances into your fly trap. these could be absorbed through the leaf by diffusion along with the nutrients obtained from the insect.the toxins will then be inside the plant and can be carried around inside the plant and do damage and possibley kill the plant.

[JerryAshotyan]

never saw it eat, just grow

[FTWbiology]

@JerryAshotyan with antiquate water and sunlight they don't need to feed on prey. The traps are to supplement any nutrition it would not get in it's natural environment of swamps.

[Evaldas521]

270 days? from dormancy to dormancy?

[WireMan7620]

That's the biggest fly trap colony I've ever seen! What are your growing specs?

[Phacias]

This unending cycle of leafes dying and getting born always scared me ;)

[emc201983]

the more sun, the more red ;-)

[nonnaida]

this plant needs more lights

[emc201983]

@nonnaida well, in winter there is not more natural sunlight, but in summer you see some red traps, thats ok, my plant is about 10 years old and deals well with the light conditions ;-)

[o0DavidTennant0o]

sorry 15

[o0DavidTennant0o]

well each trap can take 10days to grow and open.

[GorillaBlacBULL]

COOOL. when you faster forward it you can see the plant rosette move

[snidenlukeo9]

love the music with it it makes it sound like nature

[gara9100]

at the end that looks so amazing and fully grown!! like ive said myn have just produced 3 large traps and smallerones underneath theres more going to turn into traps in the next few weeks or so.

[dinmagic]

Great job on the time lapse. I really stink on growing those guys, mine only survive for like a month before they all rot.

[Kevinsniperboy]

cool vid so it will take that long for it to grow like that 270 days !! lol

[enTToo]

you should cut off those dead traps i recomend

[emc201983]

i got the big plant from a DIY for about 3$ 9 years ago...

i dont know the name in english, but its a soil without nutrients/fertilizer in it (peat or something)

[volatilesquid]

@emc201983 correct.

[Canadaxdr]
