You’ve probably already heard about the game Plants vs Zombies, but you should know that zombies aren’t always at odds with our friends from the other kingdom. Here’s a short list of a few plants that align perfectly with your inner zombie.
Venus Flytrap
Everyone knows about the Venus Flytrap, but have you ever considered taking care of one? These colorful little plants use their keen green senses to detect when its prey is near enough to eat, much like us zombies. These plants like aerated, unenriched soil, and prefer to spend most of their time in warm, humid areas.
Cape Sundew
Cape Sundews are also a great option. This plant likes to use its long tendrils to wrap itself around its food. Much like the Venus Flytrap, this carnivorous plant also has an appetite for warmth and humidity, but does not need much direct sunlight.
Pimpernel Sundew
A close relative of the Cape Sundew, the Pimpernel Sundew is another wonderful plant. However, unlike the Cape Sundew, this plant uses a system called a catapult-flypaper trap to catch its meals. Unlike many of the other plants on this list, the Pimpernel Sundew can survive in most soil types and prefers cold temperatures to warm ones.
Corkscrew Plants
This next option packs a lot of punch in a little size. Corkscrew plants are small herbs that look for their food underground rather than looking upwards and lying in wait. Zombies like us could learn a thing or two from this carnivores’ proactive hunting style. This plant prefers warm climates and, as a semi-aquatic species, thrives in wetlands.
California Pitcher
Lastly, but certainly not least, there is the California Pitcher. If you’re a zombie who likes to cause a ruckus, this plant may be for you. In the shape of a cobra rearing its head, this large plant is native to cold bogs and swamps of the Pacific Northwest. At home, it will do best in soil mixed with sand and large amounts of water daily.
