00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your brother, Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.

00:10What does the plant hobbyist we met in Negros Occidental eat at this time of the day?

00:15His plants are eaten by insects and small animals. What kind of plant is this?

00:21When you enter this plant nursery in Murcia, Negros Occidental, you feel like you are in a different world.

00:30The plants that grow here, you can only see them on TV or movies.

00:35Like this one, which looks like a pixel.

00:37While this plant, it looks like a mouth that will grow a tooth.

00:41And not only their appearance is different, but also their diet.

00:45Yes, they eat.

00:47And their craving for insects and small animals is what they call a carnivorous plant.

00:52A plant that Rafael is taking care of.

00:54I started in 2021. I wanted to start something different.

00:59I saw the carnivorous plant.

01:01One of the first plants Rafael took care of were Venus Flytraps.

01:05It is active, it eats insects when it enters the traps.

01:10Until he realized that his exotic collection has changed.

01:14I have different kinds of carnivorous plants.

01:17I have pitcher plants, saracenia, pingicula.

01:21Maybe more than 200 to 300 plants.

01:24At first, I was intimidated because I only saw them in movies.

01:29But when you see it and take care of it, it's not that hard.

01:34But isn't it dangerous to take care of carnivorous plants?

01:38Brother Kim, why do carnivorous plants eat insects and small animals?

01:43Brother Kim, why?

01:46Plants need water, sun, and the nutrients they get from the soil.

01:51Carnivorous plants live on soils that are not very good.

01:56That's why they lack the nutrients they get here.

01:58This is the reason why they need to eat small insects and small animals for them to live.

02:04There are different kinds of carnivorous plants and different ways of eating prey.

02:08This is one of them.

02:09The Venus flytrap has small leaves around it that are its feelers.

02:13And it feels when it comes close.

02:15When it closes, the prey is trapped.

02:17It produces digestive enzymes where the prey is digested and it eats it.

02:22And this is the pitcher plant.

02:24That's why it's called a pitcher plant.

02:25It has a pitchel that contains sticky liquid.

02:28When the insect enters it, it will be trapped in the liquid and it will be digested.

02:32And it will digest and eat its food.

02:35But is it dangerous to take care of carnivorous plants like Rafael?

02:39It's not dangerous.

02:40They only eat insects.

02:42And the biggest prey they eat is fish.

02:46I'm sure many of you will grow up with this carnivorous plant.

02:49Because this is the biggest.

02:51Not only in the Philippines, but all over the world.

02:54It's named after the famous naturalist, Sir David Atemboro,

02:58the Nephentis atemboroi or Atemboro's pitcher plant.

03:02It can reach up to 1.5 meters while its pitchel diameter is 30 centimeters.

03:08That's why it's the biggest carnivorous plant in the world.

03:11And did you know that it was the first to be seen at the summit of Mount Victoria in Palawan?

03:15This proves how rich the biodiversity is in our country.

03:19Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,

03:22just post or comment,

03:24Hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?

03:26Always remember, it's important to know.

03:29I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours.
