Please subscribe to the channel, it genuinely helps more than you can imagine ♥ Some extra details because I know some people might complain : - The plants can’t starve. They can survive just fine without food. - I can’t find any videos of this plant (cephalotus follicularis) eating food online - that isn’t them being force fed or fertilized. - Please bear in mind that this video is meant to be entertaining as well as informative. Happy growing :)
For not the first person to feed this plant on camera, the Video is called Feeding Cephalotus I guess your the first person to feed this planet naturally
Those ants were raising their abdomen to spray folic acid. They were defending their nest, and viewed the spray as a threat. I think you could place a piece of cardboard adjacent to the nest that acts like a ramp to the pitcher plant.
Honestly, I have not ever seen a single video showcasing cephalotus. Maybe because they can be so expensive, but I don’t know. Still nice to see this! Btw love the vids! Cool that I got to see something similar to how it would eat in the wild!
They’re likely signalling a potential attack when they’re startled by the water They’re likely not able to tell what hit them wasn’t a predator and because they’re so close to the nest they signal for help I think that’s why they were clustered at the entrances too, they were in fight or fight mode not look for food mode
Those could be L. brevicornis ants (American yellow meadow ants) which are less active at foraging and only come outwhen the nest Is dissturbed because they have a farm of under ground aphids. Edit: I just realised these are actually the British version of meadow ants.
"What is wrong with this british ants?!" Well first of all, they are british. Would agrue they want tea to their honey mhm lol Its kinda funny how those ants just embrace being drowned in honey/Honeywater instead of collecting it and bring it to the colony. the rather just go all in and be like "this is fine"
It did but honey and honey water is what they (apparently) react more towards as it is a liquid and they can just drink it instead of having to carry it

2:02 The ants were like, "Nah. Sisters. This is a trap."

I can’t seem to find that video, however is the person hand feeding it or letting it catch food by itself?
He is handfeeding it Creator name is John's carnivorous plants And scroll down on TH-cam shorts ten months And you might see it and i love Your videos
Ants canada did it as well years ago.
Ants Canada used nepenthes and not cephalotus. They are completely different although they use the same trapping mechanism :)

I have no idea why either. Either that, difficulty of care or just difficult to find? But I thank you for your compliment
@theflytrapgardenfilms how much did Cephalotus cost?
Lol they werent excited by the water spraying. They were panicking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Just terrorising them

That’s very interesting. Thank you for that info

You’re kidding?! ARE THEY FARMING APHIDS ??? (The British kind?) 😭😭😭😭
@@theflytrapgardenfilmsants either have aphid farms or fungi farms. Crazy little bugs.
Nice to see videos with the Cephalotus
They don't get much love, do they 🥲

have you thought about just putting... sugar down? did that not cross your mind?
It did but honey and honey water is what they (apparently) react more towards as it is a liquid and they can just drink it instead of having to carry it
Wish there was ants where I live
Ive done this before just didnt get it on video, but yea it takes ants a while to find it
If you do it again be sure to film it 😁
Really cool
Thank you!😁
Nice, i did this with my pinguicula
Nice! I should try that too. For fruit flies?
wow! you got an albany pitcher plant!
Yep! I actually have 5 pots I think
@@theflytrapgardenfilms are you kidding me!?
yea 3 typicals and 2 cultivars
@@theflytrapgardenfilms wow!
@@theflytrapgardenfilms what pitcher plants are cultivars and typicals
Wow, where do you find the plant
I bought it from a local nursery :)
@@theflytrapgardenfilms it reminds me of that one red fruit that kinda looks like the bottom "lip" of the plant, I think it's called the blood orange
Oh yea, I just googled it and it kind of does look like that. I've never heard of that before
@@theflytrapgardenfilms it's a very delicious orange
Now I'm going to have to find one and try it lol
Yes I’m the first comment
Thank you for your support :)
I might order an ant farm refill kits for this purpose
Ants - 6
Man - 1
This is awesome
I love you videos
Thank you! I'm glad to hear that!
Not all ants eat/like sugar,some eat meat/other bugs
