Some plants just bloom so rarely even though thats an important part of their lifecycle ( every plant that blooms reproduces like that?).
So for me it seems odd that some plants don‘t try to maximize the number of times they do this.
Dessert cacti make sense to me since they want to try when the conditions are just right and not waste precious energy, but thats not every plant that rarely blooms.
So why do some plants bloom so rarely ?
In: Biology
I know that there are plants that “decide” how they reproduce, depending on the conditions of their surroundings.
If everything is right, they might just reproduce asexually and clone themselves.
When there are problems they choose to reproduce sexually (with blooming and stuff). I dont really know why they do it like that. Maybe sexual reproduction means more variety and therefore more adaption?
Anyways, i’m no expert so don’t be mad if i’m wrong.
And sry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, it’s not my first language.
