Although there are several plants in the office of Sugar Land Chiropractors there are no carnivorous plants.

The Venus flytrap uses a snap trap to capture their trade. The Venus flytrap is the iconic carnivorous plant.

It is very simple their leaves are hollow and filled with water and digestive acids. The climate at Sugar Land Chiropractors is not conducive to growing carnivorous plants. Any insect or pray that fall in drowned to death and are slowly digested over the time period some of the pitcher plants have waxy leaves that help bugs falling easier well other pitcher plants have chemicals that decrease the surface tension of the water.

Some plants use active sticky traps to trap insects’ sundews are plants that have tentacles all over their leaves that adhere to insects that land on them. As quickly as the insect lands its movement will trigger other tentacles to close around it. The sundew actually suffocates the insect to death. The planting digest the bug and it is its food. Other plants use passive sticky traps as well, but they aren’t actively triggered such as the sundew. There are more like sticky mousetraps you put out for little mice. Although it is interesting that a plant can eat a mouse, there are no mice at Sugar Land Chiropractors. When the insect lands on the plants with these tiny sticky tentacles the insect then get stuck. The plant then sends out digestive acids to liquefy the insect and the insect becomes its food. The most common plant that uses a passes sticky trap method is called the butterwort plant.

Section traps are saying on such plants as bladderwort and are fascinating to watch an action. These plants sucking buds another prey in literally faster than you can blink twice. Their favorite food is large high of mosquitoes, but the biggest suction traps can catch up capture small tadpoles by the tail and eat them from the bottom up. Bladderworts also have very beautiful Flowers. You will not find bladderwort plants at Sugar Land Chiropractors.

This plant captures its food underground this is probably the most unique trap of all the carnivorous plants it is called the lobster pot trap because it resembles fishing for those crustaceans. These plants roots are hollow with little openings along the length of them. Tiny bugs in larva will crawl into the roots and are forced along the inside of them by sharp hairs that are positioned in the direction of the stomach of the carnivorous plants. This makes it impossible for the bugs to get away. However interesting this plant is, Sugar Land Chiropractors do not have carnivorous plants at their location.
