What is Drosera?
Drosera , also known as Sundew, is a genus of carnivorous plants that include about 188 known species. Its name is derived from the physical characteristics of its gland leaf, which seems to shine like a dew in the sun. The sun may grow in highly humid and sandy soil, although the soil is lacking in organic nitrogen and phosphorus. It is known to compensate for nutrients that the sun captures and spends insects using the surfaces of their leaves, which consist of alloy glands. They have long, stimulated tentacles on their leaves that easily attract insects. Once their prey is captured, the leaf slowly connects around it, which may take minutes or even hours. The tentacles and drosera can bend in any direction, but whenever the leaf catches insects, the tentacles bend the leaf inside. These digestive enzymes include protease and phosphatase, which gradually increase concentration as soon as the tentacles are captured by the insects to digest. In addition, glands on tentacles produce an attractionTive nectar and adhesive compounds that can get the insects to the leaf until they completely close to prey.
carnivorous plants such as dosera need insects to compensate for their bad mineral nutrition. This is because the family lacks the ability to obtain nutrients from the soil where it grows. To survive, they developed in carnivorous plants specializing in nutrient intake from above the soil. For example, the Sun Pygmy lacks nitrate reductase, a plant enzyme that helps in digestion of nitrates bound to the ground.
as herbal plants known to be up to 50 years of life, species that are also considered permanent plants. Some species grow vertically, while the types of vineyards and roses tend to hug the ground. The sun can be found on almost every continent, with the exception of antartics.
in tropical countries, some species Drosera grow throughout the year, similar to the Pygmy of the Sun found in Australia, while others die back to their roots during the dry season and reappear during the autumn. The species, which grows in cold, snowy habitats, lies back in its wrapped buds known as Hibernacula. The species found in North America and Europe belong to this group.
