(Goddammit YES finally DONE… And it looks SO BAD DAMMIT)

…So, this is an idea squidbles threw at me a while ago, and to which I’ve granted way too much time and thoughts since then. CRYSTAL GEM BELCHERS WHOO.

Macro Timelapse: Plant movements and growth

Tropisms in plants

Tropisms are movements that experience the plants when they need to adapt to some more favorable environmental conditions. The movements take place for phenomena of vegetable growth, with increase of the total mass of the plant, so, contrary to the movements that take place in the animal Kingdom, they cannot be reversed and they are completely involuntary. Among these adaptations we have:

Phototropisms: Or reactions of the plants when they are stimulated by the light. The stem has positive fototropism. On the contrary, the root shows negative fototropism. 

Gravitropisms: They take place because of the gravitatory force . The root presents positive gravitropism, that is to say it tends to grow in the same directions than the force of the gravity, while the stem presents negative gravitropism, because it looks for the opposed direction. 

Tigmotropisms: Reactions of the plants when they are in contact with solid objects. These movements allow certain plants to be able to climb when clinging to other plants or surrounding objects.

Hidrotropisms: Vegetable reactions in front of the stimulus of water. -src
