Crazy House Plant


This is a plant that I rescued from an abandoned office back in 1998. It’s become like a pet to me over the years and seems to “reach out” to me when I sit at my desk. No one believed me until I captured this time-lapse video. It slows down after the start, but be patient! Here is a picture of the bloom: home.nullgel.com

    lmao, that is awesome! I am starting to think hoya is my favorite plant. My mom has had one in her kitchen forever. I just bought one myself, and it’s hanging near my desk right now. The flowers are so awesome. (You know not to prune the buds right? They flower in the same spot over and over.) I didn’t know they were in the habit of moving around like this though. I like these things more and more.

    @nullgel its attracted to the sunlight coming in from the window so it bends then at night when there is no light it returns to a more relaxed position or possibly twords another window getting the last few min of light before night time ( like how a sunflower turns twords the sun)

    That is an adventitious root, give it a bowl of water and see what it does then. I bet it will make a visit to the bowl.

    craizin421: Vines don’t grow towards a specific target. They sway through the air and attach to stuff they hit. What they actually attach to is random, but the behaviour is of course programmed into their genes…

    A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids’ room, the father said,”Take the kids and get out of the house. We’ll call the police, we don’t have a clown statue.” The “clown statue” is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don’t post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand(SORRY BOUT SPAM THIS REALLY FREAKS ME)

    …and yet the nervous systems are control by something even smaller, this you cant deny… i mean how exactly is it that vines grow towards something to grab onto… it knew were it was going. yes it could not concept what it was doing or even know it was doing anything at all… and yet it still set a simple task to complete, how explain can we explain intellengce.

    Of course they’re alive, and certain species of plants move all the time, such as Venus Fly Traps (which kick ass, by the way). But to actually propose that plants are sentient beings and can move at whim is not only preposterous, but completely unimaginable to someone who knows about the structure of plants. There are no nervous structures or stimui that would make it do such. Plants don’t move towards heat, they grow towards light.

    Plants are alive and can move. They do develop a fondness for their caretakers. Read the book “The Secret Life Of Plants”, it will change your whole outlook on the vegative world!!!
