Plants have developed responses called tropisms. A tropism is a growth in response to a stimulus; so light and water in the plant’s case. There are different types of tropisms: Positive tropisms are when growth is towards the stimulus - so the plant growing towards the light to maximise the stimul
If a plant has enough water, minerals and energy it will grow right? Well sort of… but there is more to it - like why do plants bend towards the light and not just grow straight? And how come the stem grows up but the roots grow down? It isn’t as if a plant has eyes to tell it where the sun is. Pl

In this video we are going to look at a few different ways in which plant hormones can be used. Plant growth hormones (auxins) can be used as selective weedkillers. The selective weedkillers contain growth hormones, that cause the weeds to grow really quickly. This means the weed is absorbing nutr

Plants are extremely complex and diverse - there are thousands of species. In fact, there are probably somewhere around half a million different species. And these are just the ones we know about - there are no doubt many more that haven’t been fully discovered yet! It is estimated that 1 in 5, so
This video adapted from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department explores the bizarre world of carnivorous plants. More than 400 species of plants evolved structures and strategies for capturing, killing, and digesting insects and other creatures to satisfy their need for a scarce nutrient. This video hi
Plants can grow not only on soil-rich ground, but also on rocks. Due to their porosity, the rock layers lying beneath the thin upper layer of soil can store water. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Florian Roth/Thomas Kuschke/Jochen Rall/Maximilian Mohr Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to watch more
On the island of Madeira there are trees that became extinct on the European continent millions of years ago: Laurel trees which are up to 40 meters high. Why has the laurel forest survived here? Creator: ZDF/Terra X/E. z. Eulenburg, I. Zink, Oliver Roetz, WENDEVARGA, Region Five Translation and
They are so small that Nihat Yildirim, pepper farmer from Turkey, cannot see them with his naked eye. But worldwide the worms destroy more than ten percent of the yield every year. Nihat Yildirim is placing his hopes on a new product from Bayer, which is currently being introduced into the market in
