There are even more fascinating facts in the plant world - do you know all these trivia?

Everything in the world undergoes amazing changes, and the plant world in particular always has things you would never expect - for example, why does the dancing grass dance? Why does the umbrella plant turn transparent? Did you know all of this? Today let's talk about that trivia!

1. Can plants run too?

We all know that plants do not move, but there is a special phenomenon called "tumbleweed" - this is actually a plant using the power of the wind to make itself roll so as to achieve the purpose of spreading seeds.

2. Is bamboo a tree?

Bamboo is not a tree. Although bamboo grows tall, it actually belongs to the herbaceous plants, not woody plants, which is to say that bamboo is actually what we usually call "grass". Ordinary trees have growth rings, while bamboo, when split open, is hollow.

3. The petals of the calla lily

Many people may think that the white part is the petal of the calla lily, but in fact the column-shaped "stamen" in the middle is what is formed by countless tiny flowers densely gathered together, called a "spadix". The white part outside is only a bract.

4. What causes the umbrella plant to turn transparent?

We all know that the Japanese umbrella plant turns from its original white to transparent after rain, but in fact this is because its petals are especially thin, and once wet by water they take on a transparent appearance. This phenomenon also occurs in other plants with thin petals.

5. The color question of hydrangeas

Hydrangeas come in every color of the rainbow. In fact, the color of hydrangeas is related to the pH of the soil in which they grow. When the soil pH is less than 7, that is, the soil is acidic, the hydrangea will bloom blue flowers; when the pH is greater than 7, it will bloom red flowers. The greater or smaller the pH value, the deeper the color of the flowers.

6. What does crown shyness mean?

"Crown shyness" refers to a phenomenon found in certain specific tree species. Even when growing space is very crowded, the crowns of adjacent trees do not shade one another, forming a trench-like opening.
