how do grape vines know where to grab posts and other stationary objects if they have no eyes?

326 viewsOther

My mom has a pergola and every year, the grape vines will wrap itself around it. Sometimes it reaches for objects that are leaning against it (even the chairs!) or it will even grab other plants that aren’t directly towards the sunlight.

How do they know that they can grab these objects as well instead of just wrapping itself around the pergola?

They don’t know they just twirl around (very slowly) until they get stuck on something, look for timelapses on YouTube, once you see it fast it makes sense
