Why trepan the plants?
You have asked you some time as it is that they exist plants that trepan upwards?
They exist plants that do not follow the normal course, but, trepan by all that that find. They are able plants to leave the soil and elevate looking for the solar light and like this achieve a more efficient photosynthesis.
Besides many have had an evolution of his species that by survival and research of light as we said, trepan to the tall looking for main profit.
Of natural way these plants have the capacity of adaptability in all the surfaces since they have of suckers, hooks or roots that go holding on to all object that there is to his step, there are others that need algun element to attach .
The trepadoras are those that do not need any type of help since they produce roots adherentes (adventitious) that allows them trepar by walls of natural way, walls ,etc. Go occupying all the available space leaving one kills dense of leaves.
The clearest example serious the ivy (hederas) or also varieties of parthenocissus (virgin vineyard).
The enredaderas need an artificial support and stick to some element to be able to attach as if they needed a guide and of this way grow. An example would be the jasmines or the bouganvilles.
Inside the plants trepadoras could classify according to his way of trepar. The growth, the nutrition and the climate to the that are exposed also influence in his capacity to elevate .
Have 3 ways of trepar:
- With his tallos volubles own, narrow and flexible that use them to be able to elevate.
- With aerial roots (adventitious) that adhere to the vertical surface.
- With zarcillos that are modifications of tallos or leaves in shape of hook that hold to keep growing.
