I bought this plant last year in December, but only during this chinese new year (February 2010) I snapped
its picture. I don't know much bout this plant, but I like it because it is unique. It has 'trappy' leave which automatically shut whenever insect accidentally stepped on it. Oops! Yes, it is carnivor plant.
The plant comes in two colour, mine is green and the other is purple. Actually, this plant usually didn't grow as high as you see in this picture. It prefer to grow close to its soil like grass. But I'm not sure about mine. Maybe I feed it with a lot of bugs. But now, this plant was left at my hometown in Kedah with my mom, she's the one who look after this plant. Maybe she likes it, and she refuse to let me take it to KL.
About caring on this plant, it is quite simple, just don't let the soil (made of moss) dry up, place it wherever there is sunlight and feed it seldomly with insect ( mosquito, fly, or any easy-digest type of insect). But the most practical aspect of caring on any plant is love. I hate to say it (any word related to love), but it is true, man. Because the plants are also creatures like us. Oh, yep, I just want to announce in my blog, that I captured this photo with my new SLR camera (Nikon D-5000), at last I had my own SLR cam.
But, I'm still learning to familiarise with the photography skill and the skill to use the camera, hahaha! But don't judge me to much. Someday, I'll be an expert, perhaps the Malaysian Next Top Photographer, maybe, we'll see. Never give up, never taking back your words... Live stronger and grow stronger like this plant. Ok! too much babbling. The conclusion for now, just get the encyclopedia or google search if you insist to know more about this plant. Or just buy one and try to grow it on your own. Its special!!
