What are some plants that can move? Come and get to know these amazing plants

In the magical natural world, there is always endless wonder, giving rise to some plants that can move. Because of their own characteristics, under conditions such as light and temperature, these plants can display spontaneous movement. Come and see what kinds of unusual plants there are!

1. Sunflower

That sunflowers can move should be no surprise. Many friends also know that the movement of the sunflower is a typical phototropic movement. Because the stem below the sunflower's flower head contains a remarkable plant growth hormone, and this growth hormone has the characteristic of growing away from light, when it encounters direct sunlight it moves to the shaded side, causing the shaded side to grow faster than the side facing the sun. Therefore, as the sun moves and the direction of light changes, the sunflower's flower head bends toward the sun.

2. Mimosa

When the mimosa is touched by the outside world, its leaves droop and its small leaflets close, which is why it is called mimosa. This special ability of the mimosa has historical roots. It originated in Brazil, where there are often strong winds and heavy rain. When raindrops hit the leaves, it immediately closes its leaflets and droops its leaf stalks to avoid the damage caused by violent storms, which is an adaptation to changes in external environmental conditions.

3. Water lily

The water lily is a precious flower among aquatic flowers. As the sun sets, its flowers also gradually close, as if the flower also sleeps at night, and that is how it got its name. Because the water lily opens by day and closes by night, it is also known as the "sleeping beauty among flowers."

4. Telegraph plant

Also known as the dancing plant or lover's plant. On each branch and leaf stalk grow 3 delicate leaflets. When the temperature reaches above 25°C and under the stimulation of a 70-decibel sound, the two small leaflets continuously swing up and down around the large middle leaf, hence the name "dancing plant," giving people a fresh and mysterious feeling.

5. Venus flytrap

The Venus flytrap's predatory organ is its leaf. The leaf has trigger hairs. If any one trigger hair is touched twice, or two trigger hairs are touched separately, its leaf will close quickly. When the leaf traps an insect, the bristles interlock tightly to prevent the insect from escaping.

6. Sundew

On the leaves of the sundew grow glandular hairs as crystal clear as dewdrops, and these are their insect traps. The glandular hairs are covered with glands that can secrete a mixture of nectar and mucus that attracts insects, as well as digestive enzymes. When an insect is stuck, the surrounding glandular hairs bend over together, and the leaf also curls up accordingly, trapping the insect firmly. After digestion and absorption are complete, the leaf and glandular hairs unfold again.

7. Crape myrtle tree

Also called the ticklish tree. After it grows up, the outer bark of the trunk falls off, leaving it smooth and barkless. If people gently stroke it, its branches immediately shake and its leaves move, its whole body trembles, and it may even give off a faint "giggling" sound. This is a whole-body reaction of it "being ticklish."
