Carnivorous Plant of the Week (1/31/2022) - Genlisea repens
Family: Lentibulariaceae
Native to tropical South America, this small corkscrew plant seems to prefer growing in "shallow water and watercourses" in its natural environment. This plant is notable for being relatively small in comparison to other species even when fully grown ("with a rosette diameter of 1.5 to 2 cm" according to one of my sources, which is indeed very tiny).
When it blooms in the springtime, Genlisea repens features small yellow flowers.
Like with other corkscrew plants, cultivation can be easy and straightforward as long as the proper growing conditions are maintained.
Generally speaking, Genlisea plants do best in warm temperature-controlled environments (such as terrariums) and should always be kept in thoroughly moist soil (and in some cases even semi-flooded soil, since they are something of a semi-aquatic family of plants).
Carnivorous Plant of the Week (January 10th, 2021) - Genlisea hispidula
A corkscrew plant native to Africa, Genlisea hispidula is one of the larger Genlisea species. Like all carnivorous corkscrew plants, Genlisea hispidula utilizes pigeons traps (also sometimes called snare traps) to capture prey. These traps are actually below the soil line, and while they resemble roots they are in fact rhizophylls (often referred to as “snare leaves”).
Above the soil line, the plant is rosette-shaped, and when it blooms the flowers are small, dainty, and uniquely shaped; the flowers can vary slightly in color, but are generally pink-purple with green and/or white portions.
According to my research, Genlisea hispidula is fairly straightforward to grow and take care of; it apparently does well in greenhouses and terrariums as well as on windowsills, which make it a popular choice for carnivorous plant enthusiasts.

Fun Facts About Carnivorous Plants: Fact # 31
Genlisea plants (also known as corkscrew plants) were named by French botanist Auguste François César Provençal de Saint-Hilaire, who named them in honor of Comtesse Stéphanie-Félicité du Crest de Saint-Aubin de Genlis, who was also known as “Madame de Genlis” for short.
Fun Facts About Carnivorous Plants: Fact # 14
Genlisea plants do not have roots! What appear to be roots are actually known as “snare leaves” (also known as rhizophylls) that resemble roots thanks to their forked shape that spirals outward from the primary plant stem. Thanks to the inward-pointing filaments within the rhizophylls, the protozoans that the plant ingests can only go deeper in and be digested.

Carnivorous Plants 101: Lentibulariaceae
Also known as the bladderwort family, Lentibulariaceae has three genera: Pinguicula, Genlisea, and Utricularia.
This family has over 300 species, making it one of the largest and most diverse carnivorous plant families.
Each of the genera uses a different type of trapping mechanism: Genlisea uses pigeon traps (sometimes called snare traps), Pinguicula uses adhesive traps, and Utricularia uses suction traps.
*I’ll be doing some follow-up posts to provide a little bit of additional information about these three genera, so stay tuned for that!
Carnivorous Plants 101: Genlisea
The plants of the Genlisea genus are more restricted in their distribution, and are native to the tropical regions of Southern America, Africa, and Madagascar. The genus contains roughly 21 species and has two sub-genera: Genlisea and Tayloria (which is exclusive to South America and has only three species).
Plantas carnívoras dos igarapés e suas armadilhas naturais
Às margens dos igarapés, onde a água murmura e o solo é pobre, vivem plantas que parecem saídas de um conto fantástico. As plantas carnívoras igarapés, como Drosera e Utricularia, desenvolveram armadilhas sofisticadas para capturar insetos e sobreviver em ambientes hostis. Como essas espécies transformam presas em nutrientes? Quais são os segredos de seus mecanismos captura carnívoras? Vamos…
