St. Petersburg Florida
Along Beach Drive on the waterfront of the city you’ll notice an extraordinary work of nature.
The banyan tree is not native to Florida and was imported in 1925 as a gift from Harvey Firestone to Thomas Edison. The tree provides shade along the walkway with its thick tangle of roots.
The aerial roots extend from the branches hang downward and then enter the soil. The…
Aerial roots on Philodendron used for attaching to trees or rocks - or living room walls. 🙂 1) Roots point in all directions. They search for a surface. 2. Surface found! The roots "glue" to the surface. 3. If the aerial roots do not find something to attach to they wither. #plant #plants #houseplant #houseplants #philodendron #philodendronerubescens #aroid #aroids #aerialroots (her: Denmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGA0EFjA66E/?igshid=1qa70mdu9ner1
I'm visiting mom and checked up on her fern. 🌿 I will do a post soon showing the progression from a small plantlet (Isle that a word? Grammarly doesn't think so.) on the aerial root to this amazing plant in about a year. I have to find the pictures. Check my stories to see the aerial plantlets on this fern. It's making babies. . . #momsfern #aerialroots #newferns #sentimentalplant #houseplant #indoorplant #houseplantsrock #urbanjungle #house_plant_community #greenyourfeed #plantsmakepeoplehappy #bhghome #apartmenttherapy #crazyplantlady (at Allegan, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UIuQiA_iB/?igshid=11lxptnxuefjs
Aerial roots are a touchy subject for some bonsai artists, some love ‘em, some hate ‘em. Funny thing is, I’m in the middle, if they work and make the tree look old, then they’re appropriate. If not, get rid of them. These aerials, in my opinion, make this schefflera look ancient. #bonsai #bonsaiart #bonsaitree #aerialroots (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NoMMmAv1h/?igshid=h5bwech9me6e
I went on a tour of the greenhouses at the @rbgsydney a little while ago - but got sidetracked on the way there by this amazing #monsteria - look at those aerial roots! M and I are now scheming ways of encouraging ours to do that up Clifford. #garden #botanical #monsteriadeliciosa #aerialroots #iloveplants
The city beneath this Banyan tree of Matrimandir, Auroville! It's tranquil and peaceful! You won't miss it if you visiting Auroville. Some 50 years ago, on a vast, barren plateau north of Pondicherry, a lone, young banyan tree stood guard. Then, the Auroville ashram was built in this space and now the tree looks like this. The aerial roots which grow down from the branches towards the ground, take root to become new trunks. It's massive and gives shelter to hundreds of people. For those who don't know, Banyan tree is also our national tree :) . . . . . . . #auroville #aurovillebeach #aurovilleseashore #aurovilledays #banyantree #banyantreehotel #banyantreemacau #BanyanTreeDays #banyantreeschool #pondicherry #india #tamil #southindia #indian #nationaltree #aerialroots #nature #green #shade #ashram #matrimandir #lonelyplanetindia #incredibleindia #yourshot_india #ig_bengaluru #backpacker #culturvation #letsguide #withPepsi #indian_igrammers @PepsiIndia @Justwravel @culturetrip @indiaculturalhub @indiaculturalhub @indiaculturelab @indian.photography @indian_shoutout.official @pictures.of.india @india.clicks @canonindia_official @bestofbangalore @igersofbangalore @indian_igrammers @indiapictures @indiapoco @indiaview @india @incredibleindia @indian.photo @oneplus_india @lonelyplanetindia @googleindia @streets.of.india @natgeoindia @wanderers.of.india @stories.of.india @travel_karnataka @travelbloggeres @natgeotravel @travelandleisure @travelawesome @travel.escape @travelanddestinations @travels.mood @travellingthroughtheworld @wondertravellers @epic.travels (at auroville, Pondicherry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5E5KKFh2h0/?igshid=14desrir9jvji
I wrote a new post about aerial roots. These are on a philodendron @matthaeinichols botanical garden in Ann Arbor. What are they for? What is their function?
