How long does it take for a cobra lily to finish digesting bugs?

Cobra lilies, or Darlingtonia californica, typically take about 2 to 3 weeks to digest their prey, which mainly consists of insects. The digestion process is facilitated by enzymes produced by the plant, breaking down the soft tissues of the captured bugs. Factors such as temperature and the size of the prey can influence the duration of digestion. After this period, the plant absorbs the nutrients released from the decomposed insect.
