I can look at this forever 😮

Fun fact:

Darwin was the first person to make a "timelapse".

He put a glass plate above the plant and put a dot on the glass where he saw the tip of the leaf, every hour.

Amazing patterns started to emerge!

Tulips for example move very slowly, while these marantas go absolutely wild!

Scientists don't fully understand why plants move like this, but they think its because they are subject to multiple different forces, like growth, light, moisture in soil and air. I this case it could also be the water that's pumped through the vertical garden a few times per day, as the light was constantly on for the timelapse.

    This makes me feel so much better about mine 😅 I looked at it the other day and thought “oh it’s doing so well!” The next day it looks sad so I was concerned only for it to looks good again the NEXT day.

    My husband is so happy I’ve moved mine outside. I point out the leaf placement multiple times a day everyday to him otherwise 😂
