Carnivorous plants are seriously some of the most interesting biological groups on earth. I mean, let's just put it in perspective: _plants_ that eat _animals._ 🤯
OMG There are plants with flowers like the ones you showed up in the pond near my house!! I had no idea they were carnivorous, I'll still check if they are though, but I am so intrigued I've always wanted to see an actual carnivorous plant!😍
🤔 What seems really impressive about this plant to me, is something that wasn't actually mentioned here, but is illustrated in the very last image in this video(at4:46). Unlike the Venus fly trap, which can only trap 1 insect at a time, then it's forced to remain shut until the insect is fully digested, ^the bladder wort's "traps" can apparently "re-cock" themselves quickly, to capture more and more insects in short order inside the same individual bladder! All the while, it's starting to digest its earlier victims. 👉 That image appears to show several small insects that have already been recently captured inside that one bladder, at the same moment its trap is being triggered again on yet another insect.
Carnivorous plants are some of the most beautiful of all plants. So colorful (and brightly so), cool textures, unusual shapes... Gotta be extra creative when you want to lure in moving prey.
While watching another video the guy mentioned bladderwort being carnivorous. I couldn't wait to look into it because I had no idea! Great video! Thank you for showing all the close up details of how they eat. Fascinating!
I don't tend to comment much, but I just wanna say thank you for this series! The very first video on carnivorous plants inspired me to get my own - my first ever plants too, I wasn't a plant person before - and they have been thriving. I had no idea how satisfying it was going to be to raise these things! Please keep covering carnivorous plants, they're fascinating!
One of the absolute best channels on UA-cam, along with PBS Eons. And why is everyone on this channel so damn pretty haha Tasha is just as dangerous as any carnivorous plant! XD
great video but i wished you talked more about the mechanism, how does it create low pressure? does it reset or is it a one time trap? the species that live in waterlogged soil, where are their traps, in the roots? or do they just grow them once the water level rises?
That would be great information to learn about. I would suspect that the reason here those kinds of details (if known!) weren't included is because of time. This video is an even 5 minutes and I wouldn't be surprised if the details about the mechanisms differ to some degree among the 200 described species. Perhaps Floralogic as a sub-channel can/ should start expanding into more in-depth content in addition to this (very good) shorts.
@@CMZneu They reset by pumping out the water that got sucked in with the prey - It was briefly mentioned that the trap has those pumps in the video. The interesting thing is that the traps are purely mechanical - Unlike the venus flytrap, which detects prey and closes via chemical means, bladderwort traps are sprung by the trigger being pushed far enough to deform the mouth and break the seal. Which means you can also help them reset faster if you 'push' on them while they're depressurizing - They're ready whenever they have enough of a pressure gradient to catch prey.
There's a fair few and I'm pretty sure you'll have heard of or possibly seen a picture of a Venus fly trap. Most of them aren't closely related and evolved to be carnivorous separate from one another.
Water wheels are also incredibly fast aquatic carnivorous plants. They are known to also have a common ancestry to Venus fly traps. Unfortunately they are highly endangered.
Recent fossil evidence indicates the extinction of the Megalodon was due to a highly specialised species of oceanic bladderwort, Biggusakkus munchicrunchii.
@@bland9876 Yeah I love the videos but I agree. It'd be awesome if they had 3 channels, or even just a second for Plants/Fungi. Plus then twice the content lol
Sure, the name is a little unfortunate given the expansion into non-animal subjects, but why not just rename to, or open second as "life-Logic" (or similar if that's taken or they intend to cover viruses). More channels doesn't mean more content, would be the same amount just spread across channels (and therefore less promotion by YT algo of their content). Personally, I'm absolutely fine with remaining as is. Cool hosts, cool content, beautiful drawings.
@@ChrispyNut That's true, I guess I should clarify I meant another channel with both doing weekly videos. Obviously I understand if they wouldn't because that's a lot of work and I love the channel regardless, but it'd definitely be cool.
Utric remiformis is possibly the easiest carnivirous plants around. A bit of warmth and place the roots in some spagnum moss and keep wet with rainwater....
Tasha is my favourite amazon, ever! 🤓 An episode about _Azadirachta indica,_ the indian neem tree, would be awesome! It's incredibly drought resistant, and it contains a biological insecticide. 🤘😎
I found a ton of the aquatic type in a lake near my house, and put a few ropes of them in my backyard ponds, but they only lasted until the end of that summer 😢 still such a cool find! I couldn’t believe it, they have such a distinct neon green apple color 💚
I have kept bladderwort as an aquarium plant. In my aquariums, bladderwort plant tended to drop their feeding bladder. The dropping of the bladders was likely due to the high nutrient levels in the aquarium. Or the gouramis eating the bladders.
The flowers are beautiful. In my region (in Southeast of France) there is another carnivorous plant in the woods, the pinguicula (beautiful flowers too, usually purple, but much less sophisticated traps).
Rhizophagy is pretty cool and an important discovery. Plants eating/farming/milking bacteria for their nutrients. Spitting most out live naked out of new root hairs the bacteria cause to grow. The plants move some naked bacteria, protoplasts, to the seeds so the next generation has the cattle it needs to thrive. There are lots of pictures around and some video of the roots circulating the protoplasts.
Weepinbell is a plant Pokémon with a yellow, bell-shaped body. Above Weepinbell's circular eyes are three small green spots and a small, brown hook-shaped stem. It has wide, gaping mouth with pink lips.
At my dads house theres a lot of mosquitos that eat him to death every summer bc their next door neighbor has a little creek, maybe I'll reccommend she get some bladderwort! She loves to garden too... Perfect plan
Amazing video as always! though I have a little question: you said that this plant was the fastest living thing ever but I recall from when I was a kid a science show that richard hammond hosted where he claimed that some microscopic mushroom that grew on horse poop was the fastest thing because being that small you had to be incredibly fast to shoot out your seeds away from the poop for it to get eaten again by the horse. Can't quite remember the name of that mushroom but I'd love to see a video about it someday and also sorry for the long comment. Tasha is amazing and I really look forward to these plant videos everytime
These plants can also eat other foods as well as animals, including parasitic organisms such as the oocyst of cryptosporidium and toxoplasmosis. But their feeding technique only works in places where water conditions are poor in nutrients. Those conditions are becoming rarer as runoff from fertilizers makes those rivers nutrient rich. The plants can even over full their stomachs from eating too much underwater algae. This is one of the few plants that have a omnivorous heterotrophic diet.
Once you said it kills mosquitoes this plant got my vote.

Plants with the uno reverse
I mean all plants eat animals if you think about it. Tho mainly dead ones and so slowly that we never think of it.
Hey, when there isn't any nitrogen around, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Feed them, Seymour
Can you talk about mimicry plants, like lithops, and split-rocks, and titanopsis? Love to see a video on how plants mimic rocks.
Opp
I love split rocks!!! I'm from New England, and struggle with succulents in the winter, which sucks, since they're by far my favorites.
I agreed
It's the Swiffer, quicker picker upper- bladderwort 😂
But wait, I'll throw in a second one freeee!
It's the 'squito, quicker eater upper -- bladderwort
Ok. That's a new one. Gotta love nature.
New one? I think they've been around a while longer than we have haha
Just because you know about them now doesn't mean they are new
It's just that they are underrated and aren't known by everyone

The bladders are specialized leaves growing their traps by muscling out a hollow space within the leaf, thus creating a vacuum.
@@Intendeduse1 Do they get reset or are they one time use?

She mentioned a special type of cells that pump out water to create the negative pressure inside the bladder.
It's the vacuum plant if it eats like that quickly!
