| Video Discription | These are not hybrid plants, they are natural plants that grow big. During photosynthesis, plants take the water from the soil, and the carbon dioxide from the air, and they make sugars out of it. When plants have the right balance of water, air, sunlight, and nutrients, their cells grow and divide, and the whole plant gets bigger and bigger. Here are the top 20 biggest plants on earth. 1. Splendid Pitcher Plant The largest of the pitcher plants, Nepenthes Edwardsiana, is only found in Malaysian Borneo and features a bulbous pitcher up to 50 cm in length. Don’t be fooled by its exotic beauty—the splendid pitcher plant is one of the largest carnivorous plants and uses rolled leaves to trick prey into falling into its liquid-filled trap. Eating mostly insects, the plant is occasionally known to consume rats, frogs and lizards. The pitchers only last a year or two, but the plant itself can live for 50 years. 2. Flowering Talipot Palm Native to India and Sri Lanka, the Talipot Palm is one of the largest palm trees in the world and can reach heights of up to 25 meters. This amazing plant also has the largest cluster of flowers on a single stem, which can reach 8 meters long. Used to create palm leaf manuscripts, umbrellas, wine and thatched roofs, the only flowers once in their lifetime and dies shortly after. The talipot palm is monocarpic, flowering only once in its life when it is 30 to 80 years old. 3. Corpse Flower Similar to the Rafflesia and also endemic to the forests of Sumatra, the corpse flower or titan arum uses a putrefying smell to attract insects. It takes its name from the smell as well as its deep red and purple coloring that mimics decomposing flesh. It can reach up to 3 meters and weigh as much as 50kg. Lucky for us, this stinky plant blooms once every seven to nine years according to the Eden Project and each bloom only lasts 24 to 36 hours. The corpse flower is one of the smelliest plants on Earth. The internet has more beautiful pictures captured by the famous Stewart Mcpherson. 4. Coco de Mer The Coco de Mer palm tree grows only on the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean and is famous for bearing the “double coconut,” the world’s largest seed. Thanks to its unique appearance, the Coco de Mer seed has many names: sea coconut, bum seed, love nut or Seychelles nut. Baffled sailors once believed it came from a mythical tree at the bottom of the ocean and European nobles in the sixteenth century would have the shells polished and decorated with jewels. Owing to its rarity, the seed is still highly prized today for collectors and Ayurvedic medicine practitioners. 5. Neptune Grass This is the biggest plant on earth, it is a species of sea grass that grows in huge underwater meadows in the Mediterranean Sea. In 2006, a massive 8 kilometer-long colony of the grass was found in waters off the south coast of Ibiza; it’s thought to be over 100,000 years old and one of the largest clonal colonies on Earth. Neptune Grass can grow up to 8km long. Being a plant, its feeding is autotrophs and it therefore produces its own food from organic material and sunlight. As it is a fanerogama, it has flowers and fruit. 6. Cardón Cactus When you picture a desert cactus you should know that the Cardón cactus is the king of them all. Found mostly on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, this giant cactus can live well over 300 years and grow up to 19 meters. Traditionally the fruit of this strangest plant was eaten by native peoples in Mexico and it is thought that the flesh of the cactus can be used as a psychoactive drug for use in ritual. One fact is in comparison with the saguaro, these strange plants often have a number of long, straight, vertical arms. 7. Venus Flytraps Now we will talk about the most deadly pants. These dangerous plants are not only poisonous but also the biggest ones as well. This poisonous plant is actually one of the biggest plants that eat animals, maybe not human. The Venus flytrap has developed successful trapping mechanisms and a taste for meat. The plant's trap, its spiky mouth-looking pair of leaves, is the biggest in the world, according to Guinness. Jeremiah Harris' record-breaking Venus flytrap is named Alien. The trap was measured at 2.4 inches, or 6.1 centimeters. Have you seen any of these plants and trees on your travels?
