At Araflora, we sometimes offer Byblis plants for sale, perfect for carnivorous plant collectors who appreciate visually striking carnivorous plants with a unique trapping mechanism.

How Does Byblis Capture Its Prey?

Byblis plants are carnivorous plants covered in glistening droplets of sticky nectar, which are secreted by special glandular hairs on the stems, leaves, and flowers. These droplets resemble morning dew, making the plant appear almost iridescent in sunlight—hence the name Rainbow Plant.

Unlike Sundews (Drosera), Byblis leaves do not move to wrap around their prey. Instead, insects become trapped in the sticky droplets, where they suffocate and are gradually digested as the plant absorbs nutrients from their remains.
