Normally, a plant absorbs nitrogen from the soil through its roots, but certain environments such as acidic bogs and rock outcroppings lack chemically available forms of nitrogen. Carnivorous plants (insect eating plants) live in these areas and survive by capturing an animal in a trap (a modified leaf), digesting the prey with enzymes, extracting nitrogen from the protein, and absorbing the nitrogen into the plant. Insect eating plants may also extract the mineral elements phosphorus, potassium, calcium and iron this way, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to be considered a true insect eating carnivorous plant, a plant has to both capture and digest its prey and there are over 600 species that fit this strict definition. Included in this group are some plants that we sell here at Plant Delights Nursery such as Venus Flytrap (Dionaea), Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia) and Sundew (Drosera). There are also quasi-carnivorous plants like Silene (Catchfly) and Puya that do not fit the strict definition of a carnivorous plant but do kill insects or birds and then obtain some of their nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eContrary to what Hollywood implies, there are no meat eating plants on the hunt for humans.
