Definitely Byblis and sundews. They are fly killing machines! The only downside is that sundews reproduce 10x faster that venus fly traps making them a weed for collections and Byblis are so rare (except austraila and southeast asia).
Once Nepenthes reach a certain size, they produce a different kind of pitcher than those closer to the ground. Those are usually a brighter yellow or green while many Nepenthes have usually lower pitchers that are more red. There are some other differences. The color and maybe even the nectar of the higher pitchers usually attract flying insects more, while the lower ones attract more crawling insects from the ground. Also I have made the experience that individual pitchers (even of the same plant) tend to produce way more nectar if they have caught something. This even works with fertilizer. My guess is that the trap waits with most of the nectar until it has caught enough to "know" that there are plenty of insects to catch, so they don't waste their nectar.
I bought my akai ryu from you guys two weeks ago and it makes me laugh that 1:00 one of these akai ryu might be the one at my house right now! Y'know where my perfectly biased bet goes! ❤
Also in 9:12 that pitcher hadn’t even opened so how could they be some inside it? It’s hurts me to see u kill the traps I knwo it’s for the experiment but it just 😢
I know it probably seems like your comments are falling upon deaf ears, but I promise I’m going to make a video about the Alata vs Ventrata vs Ventricosa soon.
i had a massive fungas knat infestation comeing out of a lot of my other plants and fliies as well i dont have flytraps havent had the money for any at the moment but i have 8 different types of nepenthes a butterwort and three sundews between all of them the sundews cought the most there were so many fiungas knats that every single leaff was just coverd in black specs afer a bout a week i used my mister to wash the dew off and clean the leaves snese in nature the rain does that and that allowerd them to last longer and not be overwelmed as well
If we made a video comparing all types of carnivorous plants, and all bugs counted the same, I think the Sundews would be clear winner. They really are so effective at taking out gnats. I call them nature's fly paper.
@@wellspringgardens yea they are amazing i only have three cus 2when i orderd one of them a year ago the amazon seller send me 2 by accident and one had babys in it so i just pintched them out and put them in a seperat pot full of moss and its really pretty
What carnivorous plant - of any type - do you think is the most effective at catching bugs?
Sarracenias for the win
you forgot the nepenthes rajah!!!!!!!😠😠
@@Amongus-xh3rf that one is seriously frightful!

We might have to get into Byblis. Very cool carnivorous species!

Your Akai Ryu definitely came from that batch right there! Who knows, we might’ve sent you the very one in the experiment!
I’ve been wanting the answer to this question my whole life!
When I sit down to make a video, I first think “What would CBreeze want to see” and then I make that video
very informative for pest control at home.
@@swat3isharder it helps to know which plant will catch which bug!
8:12 It is in the name of science but still😢
I knew that part was going to get to you 😭. If it makes you feel better, we shot this video a few weeks ago and they all have grown new pitchers/traps
@@wellspringgardens what was the box used in the video called? It looks cool 😎
@ “mini reptile terrarium”

@@Carnivorousplantsaus that’s fair. I was probably moving along too fast. That one could definitely have been spared
Now I'm waiting for the Sarracenias vs Sundews vid, and the restock. 👀
Aww yeah, that’d be sweet!
by the way you should change the name from alata to ventrata cause you might get bad ratings but i still love the quality
Yeah I bought an "alata" but it was a ventrata from what I saw but overall experience from them 9/10
I know it probably seems like your comments are falling upon deaf ears, but I promise I’m going to make a video about the Alata vs Ventrata vs Ventricosa soon.
Neither. My Saracenia Flava are constantly overflowing with flies in the summer months (UK).
Sarracenias are underrated for sure
Nepenthes
Is that chomper from plant vs zombie
It looks like it, doesn’t it? Nah, they’re stock images
to let ya know i'm more careful now cause it got a bit too cold at night inside greenhouse on a night, banana leaves got more brown not good
@@frostylonewolf1700 that’s good. Just do you know, my next video is going to be a cold-prep vid. Stay tuned!
@@wellspringgardens its 42 rn inside the greenhouse, 34 outside
@ you just gotta keep them from freezing. So far so good
@@wellspringgardens well yeah but its gotta be like 50's to 60 for them to grow the bananas
@@wellspringgardens sad news it might get down to 30 to 31 tonight inside greenhouse, its 34 inside rn
Whyyyyyyy you could just look with a light through the plants traps
@@Carnivorousplantsaus mostly to give viewers something to look at

@ Score! Three for the price of one! Not too shabby
Your plants too tiny
@@LifeofKusa yeah, they would’ve performed better if they were more mature
