Just imagine that by the plants you can tell if it will rain or not and what, for example, the summer will be like. After all, there were times when the Internet and even radio did not exist. Our ancestors were based on plants, whether they have dew on them and how much they bloom. Such tips will be useful to everyone, just in case.
My own forecaster
If you carefully observe houseplants, some garden or even trees, as our ancestors did. You will start to notice that some of them react to changing weather conditions, especially rain. Basically, these plants include those in which the natural habitat is tropical countries. We will tell you what you need to pay attention to, and give out all the secrets of our ancestors.
Of course, all plants are read in completely different ways, they even feel the weather for a different period of time. For a day, a few hours, or just before the downpour. So, what signs can there be - for example, flowering plants can close their buds or dew appears on deciduous ones, they begin to cry, the aroma of flowers may even intensify.
By giving all these signals in nature, the plant protects itself, for example, by closing the petals or when the foliage attracts more closely to each other. And the increased smell attracts insects, because the flower must be pollinated before the shower. The acacia tree is considered the most fragrant, but mattiola will tell you that the sunset is coming. When we see a race on the foliage, this is a consequence of high humidity, the leaves simply do not have time to let it pass.
Alocasia and Monstera
These houseplants are leaders in weather forecasting. It’s hard to believe how they feel it, but nature has preserved instinct and foliage will first of all let them know that rain is coming.
Unique plant Monstera, native to the tropics. There it grows in the form of vines, so when living at home, its roots always stick out. If you are going for a walk, pay attention to whether your plant is crying with dew drops. You may need an umbrella.
Also Alocasia is a tropical plant. It grows on strong, sinewy stems, and white veins are painted like paints on a dark green leaf, in which millions of stomata are located. It is through them that moisture is passed outside. Since there are entire rainy seasons in the tropics, this clever plant has adapted to dumping unnecessary moisture. Therefore, before the rain, the flower can cry.
Imopea and Mallow
As a beauty pageant, mallow can compete with many of the tropical plants. Just imagine them in your garden, delicate and voluminous buds on a high stem will look beautiful in any composition. Foreshadowing bad weather, these gorgeous buds begin to close. If you are going for a walk or haven't looked at the weather forecast, take a look at this plant. You may need an umbrella.
An ornamental and so delicate plant for design is Imopea. Juicy, green, winding along the arch in the garden on which bright bells of various colors are located - like in a fairy tale. This plant pleases with open flowers in the morning hours before the appearance of bright sunlight. If it is cloudy outside, it will attract attention and insects longer.
As soon as the clouds come close, Imopea closes the buds in order to preserve their delicate petals, which will definitely not bear the rain. And all the bees fly away, so there is no one to show off in front of anyone.
Crocuses and Tulips
With the arrival of spring, we are very pleased with the first awakened flowers. What a pity that they bloom for only a couple of weeks. The tulip flower is shaped like a glass and to protect the fragile petals, they close when they feel rain. Otherwise, the flower will fill with water and break the stem. By the way, crocuses and tulips are also sensitive to temperature balance. Feeling cold snap, they close their buds.
