Like many other carnivorous
plants, it
lives in the areas with poor
soils and compensates the shortage of nutrients by eating insects.
It is
different from many
other pitcher plants in that it doesn't rely
on rainwater to fill its trap; it doesn't use enzymes to digest its
prey but uses a symbiotic bacteria instead; and it is dormant for about
four months of the year.
