At Araflora, we offer Aldrovanda vesiculosa for sale, allowing you to grow this fascinating carnivorous plant in your own pond, aquarium, or aquatic setup.

How Does Aldrovanda vesiculosa Capture Its Prey?

Unlike most carnivorous plants, Aldrovanda vesiculosa is completely free-floating, drifting just below the water’s surface. It can grow up to 15 centimeters long, forming a wreath-like structure of 6-9 leaves, each equipped with a trap at the tip.These traps, measuring around 4mm, function similarly to the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula). When a small swimming organism touches the sensitive trigger hairs inside the trap, the trap snaps shut within milliseconds, capturing and digesting the prey to extract essential nutrients.
