The blackening leaves may be due to watering with tap water, which if it contains chlorine or fluoride can damage the plant. Use distilled water. That said, leaves will die anyway. The mould visible in the plant bed may be due to direct watering - the roots should sit in water, rather than pouring it into the plant. The upper parts should remain dry to prevent mould growing. The plant growing a flower is a sign of stress. If you let it flower, it will put a lot of energy into it, and that can be enough to kill the plant. Consider pinching off the flower stem as soon as you see it, and ensure it has enough water. Remove the black leaves often to avoid rot setting in.
Not quite. The reason for the black areas on the venus was obvious deterioration caused by the larvae the plant attempted to ingest, which is why a swarm of flying insects was circling the plant to eat it. They extract a goo that tarnishes or disassembles dead organisms.
It's completely normal for the old traps to die off while new ones take their place (just as long as all the traps are not suddenly dying off). There are also other ways traps die off, which, yes, some can be due to wrong water (heavily depends on where you live, some tap water are actually safe but do research first and use a TDS metre for testing), usage of the wrong potting medium or other reasons. However, the trap with the larvae seems to have died because it was unable to fully close and form an airtight seal before producing digestive juices. The reason for the airtight seal is so that bacteria does not get in while the trap is digesting, and if bacteria do get in, well, the trap's chances of turning black increases. Some traps do survive though. For the mould part, I don't think it's caused by top watering (if the person does do top watering). Mould forms in damp and poorly ventilated areas. For outdoors in summer, mould is not a problem because full sunny positions and with the wind blowing around kills the growing conditions for mould. As for indoors, some people turn on a fan in the room to get some air circulation. But yes, I do agree that the dead traps should be removed. And as for the flowering, it's fine to let plants to flower, but generally, it's recommended to cut them off because the FTs take up a lot of energy to flower, especially for smaller plants (100% cut them off for smaller plants).
Stellar vid, Jens! Was this the longest time-lapse you’ve done? Did not expect different camera angles for the worm-like thing. Thought you would have kept the same perspective for the whole 30 days. Cheers!
The most likely reason traps die when catching a prey is because if the prey is too big or is partially sticking out, causing the flytrap to unable to form airtight seals to digest the prey. The airtight seal prevents bacteria from entering and from what I've seen, often the traps die (some survive the ordeal, healthy as ever) but they still absorb some of the nutrients and this encourages new growth. I'm a little iffy on how often traps die. Some say it should open and close 6-10 times, but if taken care of, they should be able to close more. Apparently someone had a trap open and close 19 times. As for how often new traps grow, I'm not sure. One of my VFTs has one dying trap (just finished digesting a prey) and yet I'm seeing three new traps growing.
why would u feed your venus flytrap an oversized insect? u knew it was way too big for it to digest. the trap wasnt able to completely seal, leading to probably an infection, leading to the rotting, and eventually the death of that trap
Lol this video had a artistic feel because the sounds and all the edits to different camera angles kinda hard to learn from it but I did enjoy it not saying you can’t learn from it just y’all would see it 😂
Venus fly traps: stop right there criminal stop you violated of killing and feeding bugs that's a either a mass deterioration Of you pay with your life Bug: uhhhhhhhhhh Venus fly trap: well that will be your life
rest in peace to the fly traps who have died during this timelapse
Its common to let traps die when they are done/noy seal good. Still give nutroents to plant
If I had a hat, I'd take it off for these lil guys
Must be hard to point a camera in one direction and just let it record till the end
yeah this guy sucks at making videos
I was just gonna say this lol
No Wonder his channel's named Another perspective
you guys know tripods are a thing right? no one is just sitting there holding the camera for this long😂
Really?
2:20 springlock failure be like:
This comment... is beautiful 😢
@@SmallFryUNITE underrated*
more like the chomp of 83
That fly trap digested itself during its own meal. Ouch.
When the prey is too big, digestion cannot work properly, so the decay of the prey also takes out the trap

yup, you got it right.
The blackening leaves are due to a over release of gastric acid when they have a meal that is too big, obviously
This is not a time lapse of anything.
3:17 When she says I'm cute
AYE 😭😭😭
😂
When i get my first kiss
Kinda looks like the venus fly trap had a stomach ache... for 30 days.
I don’t know how I ended up here but I like it
Same 😂
The foley artists had a field day with this one.
What a great job! Very good choice of music, sounds are also great. Loved it.
Thank you mate

Thank you. I did a couple of 30 day tl but not longer. I had to replace sd card and then decided to add a New perspective😅
In all honesty you should've anticipate varying perspectives. I mean, it is in the channel name... Another Perspective
@@anotherperspective3076you’re impatient and made for a really disappointing video
this reminds me of when bought some venus flytraps from Lowes but they didn't make it as i found out venus flytraps eat their prey alive not dead
sehr schöne Zeitrafferaufnahmen :)
Vielen Dank
Looks like the traps are dying after the meal. How often do they die like that, and how often do new ones grow?
the insect was too big
Mine always died and made a new "leaf" thing. Not sure if that's how it goes.
@prsnr42 I've also heard they have a limit

How long do the victims needs to remain awake during this nightmare?
As always so very well put together Jens, amazing video, wow 👏
Thank you mate

bcs content
@@MrPibbin it would be even better content if there was fottage of the trap succesfully reopening after a meal
I still don't get why the first one died. Was it just the time for it to die?
@@TOBY-jy7bz no. the worm wouldnt fit into the trap
@@BotvacProductions469 that was the second one. The first one just withered away even though it seemed tightly closed
“holy over dramatic misic and unnecessary sound effects Batman!”
Dude really hit that “credits song for my death”
Fantastic! Lovely details.
The sfx are just too funny, couldn’t take this video seriously
Horribly msde video. The time laps didn't happen until the end
Thought the caterpillar would be able to escape
So it dies while it’s digesting the insects?
Why did some turn black?
Bugs or the plant? If it's the bugs, their insides were suckex out and it's just husks but if it's the plant then the plant died.
does a venus fly trap die normally after it eats ?
I am for the emancipation of the plant kingdom into full carnivory so that they have their revenge.
Can we just take a moment for all the poor bugs in the video
No…they’re just bugs man :/
Nope....
Awesome!
Thank you
Omg does that mean the whole entire plant dies?
The sound effects were a little too much. First time fine, but after a while it just seemed like someone who just learned about folly lol
Lol this video had a artistic feel because the sounds and all the edits to different camera angles kinda hard to learn from it but I did enjoy it not saying you can’t learn from it just y’all would see it 😂
this is the worst time laps i have ever seen. wtf is this
2:21 WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87?!
Too big of a larva to fit fully into a trap
The title lied.
سبحان الله العظيم الذي لا اله إلا هو
👏 bravo
Good video, annoying sound effects
This was horrible, no actual time dated lapse just sporatic shots edited together that made me feel like im supposed to feel bad for the insects
Finally the video i wanted
Fantastic gross footage😅
Thank you
NO THE LADY BUG
Thought this would be a cool video to watch but now I just wanna vomit
Venus fly traps: stop right there criminal stop you violated of killing and feeding bugs that's a either a mass deterioration
Of you pay with your life
Bug: uhhhhhhhhhh
Venus fly trap: well that will be your life
Pay the court a fine, or serve your sentence! Your stolen flies are now forfeit!
cringe
Worst editing style ever
that music was absolutely awful
