Pronađeno je više od dvadeset pet vrsta Catopsis bromeliadsa koje se uzgajaju od Floride i Zapadne Indije do tropske Južne Amerike.
Epifitske biljke s mekim, bezbolnim, zelenim listovima, čini se da sjedaju i pasivno gledaju na svijet. To je vjerojatno izvor generičkog imena, koji dolazi iz grčke "katopsis; pogled."
Sjeme ima svilenkastu svilenu čašu, malo poput mravljeg lima, koja pluta sjemenke na vjetru. Sjeme ne klijati sve dok nisu dobre i spremne, a sadnice dugo traju da odrastaju.
Dajte im kuću temperature, filtrirajte do jakog svjetla, ispirajte i pustite da se osuši, ali ne previše suh.

❓ Are bromeliads carnivorous plants?
👉 Some folks are surprised that there are some bromeliads that are carnivorous. In fact there are several including: Brocchina reducta, B. tatei, and Catopsis berteroniana. To be carnivorous, a plant must lure, capture and digest its prey.
❓ Is Venus fly trap a bromeliad?
👉 You may have heard of the Venus Fly Trap or the Pitcher plant, but did you know they are not the only plants that dine on bugs and other small prey?
❓ What plant eats bugs?
👉 The Venus flytrapThe Venus flytrap is a clever carnivorous plant that lures insects into its deadly chamber, captures them, eats them, and then expels them when finished.
❓ Are Venus fly traps poisonous?
👉 Venus fly traps are not poisonous, do not have teeth, and cannot bite, so they pose no threat at all to humans. The traps are only designed to close around small insects so that the plant can digest them and extract nutrients. While a trap may close around a finger if inserted, it cannot cause harm.
❓ Do Venus fly traps have flowers?
👉 Venus flytrap is a perennial plant that blooms year after year in May and June. Their flowers are on stalks 8 to 12 inches tall and well above the trap shaped leaves so they don't catch the same species of insects that come to pollinate their flowers.
❓ Can plants eat humans?
👉 Any plant attempting to eat people would find itself overmatched; even small children are too big for plants to digest, and their leaves simply aren't strong enough to constrain human beings.
❓ Are pineapples carnivorous?
👉 Although pineapple plants are not true carnivorous plants, they can consume insects. The plant generates the enzyme bromelain. This is a protein that degrades other proteins into polypeptides and amino acids, in this case, animal proteins. The pineapple plant has not adapted to trap animals.
❓ What happens if a Venus flytrap bites you?
👉 Fortunately for people, Venus flytrap plants can't eat anything much bigger than a housefly and mostly they eat mosquitoes and gnats. If you put the tip of your finger in the flytrap's bug eating mouth, it will quickly snap shut, but it won't hurt at all.
❓ Can I stick my finger in a Venus flytrap?

❓ What is a Catopsis plant?
👉 Catopsis are epiphytes, meaning they grow attached to a substrate, such as a tree, rather than in the ground. These types of plants are also commonly referred to as air plants. Their roots are designed to act primarily as anchors. They take in water and nutrients through special scales on their leaves.
❓ What is Killing my Catopsis?
👉 Metamasius callizona, a weevil, will feed on the meristematic tissue of the Catopsis species, which will inevitably kill the plant. Other organisms that use phytotelmata as a home are algae. These organisms are essential to the plant itself.
❓ What does Catopsis look like in Florida?
👉 The yellow or orange flowers emerge on a simple flower stalk. Catopsis morreniana does not occur in Florida. Its native habitat is Costa Rica. It can also be found in Mexico. The plant has glossy, green leaves with silvery scales and a branched flower stalk that produces delicate, yellow flowers.
❓ Is Catopsis berteroniana carnivorous?
👉 There are several other species in the genus, none of which is believed to be carnivorous. Catopsis berteroniana is an epiphytic insectivorous plant with elongate leaves. These erect leaves overlap to form tube-like structures characteristic of many tank bromeliads.
