      Who says the Sarlax eats things for nutrition?

      Most carnivorous plants don’t actually need to eat bugs to survive. They just… do?

        Most of those plants live in extremely nutritionally poor ground, so when you grow them at home and they have nutrition, they wouldn’t require eating I guess.
