Why do plants bend over when they become a certain height? The area where the leaves are bend over when the stem becomes so high. What does this mean?
Why do plants bend over when they become a certain height?
The height, weight, gravity, all that good stuff.
The process is called "hyponasty". I am serious.
Reply:Also, if their root system is not well established they can fall over.
Reply:Sometimes it has to do with the lighting. If it is a plant that needs full sun but has been planted in the shade it will fall over after reaching full height, and sometimes before reaching full height.
Most plants that need full sun will not fall if planted in FULL sun (not partial sun).
You can always stake them.
Reply:Gravity and being top heavy.. kinda like Dolly Parton.
