Charlie looks like he is tired of your shit. I don't know how he does, or if he is even a he, but he definitely is.

What variety of flytrap is this?
Sovereignbuddha
I was wondering that too. It has a very long and narrow petiole that I'm not to familiar with. I take care of a CP garden btws.

Lmfao. That is hillarious, but in all seriousness I hope he rewards it with flies for every trick.

..Reward it? It's a plant. It doesn't have feelings. They're 2 bucks at the hardware store, get a new one.

It feels very 'Office-y' to me for some reason.... and I've never watched the show.

Wasn't it Audrey?

The third because opening and closing it for laughs without feeding it. They die super quick, and people replace them like fish
BingoBangoBoom
I think it's the third because I and II were in Little Shop of Horrors. (Audrey II was also a plant that craved meat).
UnPetitSugarcube
Yep. Such a great movie.
FroggyFae
Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't these plants have a limited use of it's trap due to the amount of energy it takes?
Sovereignbuddha
You are correct in that the trap can only be used a limited amount of times. Sundews are so much more fun.

"What is that? I wonder what he..HAHAHAHAHAHA"

That flytrap is so triggered right now.

As funny as it is, if you buy a flytrap make sure to drop a fly in its mouth every time it closes. Takes tons of energy to close, needs food
psykalag

Hannya
Or... Just throw out your dead flytrap and buy a new one. It's a cheap plant.

zt2211
Do the leaves wither and fall off after a certain number of closes or does it just take up lots of energy for the whole plant?
Sovereignbuddha
The leaf trap dies. I wish it didn't. It's the only carnivorous plant I won't get because I'm afraid I'll kill it on accident.
primadonna13
Tried to explain this to my mom. Long story short: Cleopatra died :(
SirJimmothy
Our last one died because we gave it tap water instead of rainwater. The latest one is going strong for a few months now, even without flies
geauxaway
he does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7rjVQ-xetc&list=PL4-ncx89QjT2aDp7tkK5B1pgN5_0xyapy
dietluigi
FYI that's a zipper. The fly is the piece of cloth covering the zipper.
geauxaway
no im pretty sure the guy who makes these is also a fashion expert :)

I also read that the digestive juices they release to digest the flies will eat at the inside of the flytrap too. Not sure if that's true.

If I remember correctly it's the (re)opening of the lobes that is very energy consuming. Also, I'm very fun at parties.
Kruschevez
IIRC, even more specifically each trap can only close a certain amount of times as well so one shouldn't go around wasting them.
ZOMGNO
Yup, about 3 times.
Dekacube
from what i understand a healthy trap can close up to 12 or more times.
TheWolf277
Just out of curiosity, can it eat wasps too?
Sovereignbuddha
Get a sundew. It's more satisfying to watch the flying bastards get hugged to death. Cape sundews are really easy, just only use DI water.
flyingcanoe
It's probably just a cutting of a complete flytrap, so no harm done.

"Charlie" is an off-cut from a larger plant. He's already dead, Jim.

Or just water it. They can survive on water just as easily as meat. They are still plants...

It's a fuckin potted plant people. Just because it has a mouth doesn't make it bad to kill it.
PunkassUnicorn
You're right but... that sounded weird for some reason lol.
ppgab
That's not quite right, it closes mechanically, not reactively.
floccinaucinihilipilificashun
I heard flytraps have a penchant for human blood
ravenclawesome
But it's a plant... An inanimate object!
TheRainbowSquirrel
Whatever you do Seymour, don't feed the plants.
Flomosho
How do you put food inside a mouth that has already been closed?
SauceIsAwesomesauce
be fast and get the fly in there before it closes
GreenMeggsAndHam
I think he meant you don't want the trap to close for any reason other than to eat. The loss of energy will kill them :/
TheSadCafe
I think they're saying "Don't fool around and make it close its mouth on random, non-food things for your amusement. Give it food."
Flomosho
I know, just poking at shit now.
TheSadCafe
Haha ok!

That's why I've come to love pitcher plants more; murder has never been more efficient

I had a Nepenthes pitcher plant that I fed a lizard too
yagamiisgod
My two pitcher plants have eaten nopes, skeeters, lizards, frogs, and a few butterflies. I love my murder plants!
TheWolf277
Do you mean, like, feeding the corpses of your victims to a bunch of these plants?
notirrelevant
I know me; if I started dicing my victims and distributing them among hundreds of pitcher plants, I'd quickly bore and just bury the body.
notirrelevant
the V flytrap expends energy whether it gets its prey or not; the honeydew only if it catches its prey; the pitcher plant just sits there.
Pnkfaerie
Worked in a greenhouse, poured out a pitcher plant that was weakly and dying to make room for the stronger plants. Full to the brim w death!
JimWest
You... puréed a pitcher plant and poured it into its brethren, just because it was "weak"? You monster.
CaptainButtbeard
Maybe the bear was soaked in red bull, that would give him enough energy.
PleasantPeasantPheasant
This comment makes me wonder if it would work to drop plantfeed in there, because that's essentially what it takes out of the insect.
Winterous
I approve of winged bears.
SteevyT
How the hell did you soak a bear with Redbull? That's like, a lot of Redbull.
PaulaDeenismybitch
But... that would also give it wings. And I don't think we want that.

It's so weird that Venus Flytraps are considered endangered but are sold as novelties in most museums.

not sold at museums here, just grocery stores

They're fairly easy to propagate but they're also easy to kill. : /

It's illegal to sell wild grown VFTs. wild ones are sometimes marked with a tag that shows up under UV.

Hahaha I wish they used irradiated dyes. Then the plant poachers might get cancer.

Also, plants respond to radiation a little differently than animals and other organisms.

Not necessarily. Sure, the closing takes a lot of energy, but it can reopen and will be ready for action again.

I don't know if you're joking but, no.
justanotheroneofthosegenericlongusernames
Depends, if you make them close with no food inside too often they die.
ChuckTingleBattlesTheAssGoblinsofAuschwitz
Yep. But by around 3 months they can withstand quite a bit of it (I had them when I was little and loved to showed them off).
flyingcanoe
That's a cutting, not a whole plant.
KingoftheIntroverts
Each "mouth" only has a certain number of closes before it dies, and seeing how the whole plant has one here, forcing it like this may do it
TurbulentShart
kragor85
Worth it.
Digerdos
According to Klunatik, the owner of Charlie, this, as in many of his videos is just a small part of the mother venus flytrap he owns.
iamireland
So he's basically cutting off parts and planting them again?
notme222
Considering that we traditionally celebrate by cutting down a pine tree, forgive me if I'm not all that sympathetic for the flytrap.
MelibeWatermelon
Or just get a potted Christmas tree and then plant it somewhere... They stay prettier anyway
diareetusmachine
Uhh I deff keep mine alive for like a month . In the wild it would've been capped on by a bear

You sir are a genious. I crown you king of comments. (In my world anyway)

I forgive you.
keeledcalcar
But unlike the Douglas fir, the Venus flytrap has a very small native range and is much more vulnerable.

Value of life: proportional to rarity?
MartialSpork
And rarity is proportional to the scope, so the bigger the scope, the rarer, & the more valuable. As scope reaches infinity, so does value.
MOTHERFUCKINGJOHNCENA
yes. albinos are a commodity.
