About

These fascinating plants provide entertainment and stimulation to the enthusiast. The lessons in this Carnivorous Plants course from Warnborough College cover a range of cultivated carnivorous plants, paying particular attention to the Pitcher Plants (Nepenthes) and Sundews (Drosera).

Overview

They don’t appeal to everyone; but they often capture the imagination of people who are not necessarily interested in other types of plants. Anyone who chooses to undertake this course is obviously interested in carnivorous plants; probably either as an amateur collector, a commercial grower or a naturalist.

Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or all of their nutrients by capturing and digesting small animals, such as insects. Other terms used for carnivorous plants are a ‘carnivory’ or a ‘carnivore’. The mechanisms used to capture and digest animals are generally subtle; but not always. Join this Carnivorous Plants course from Warnborough College to learn more.
