Praying leaves

[Jerbot9000]

I think it's a turgidity thing. Not light, or heat, or nutes...just water pressure. The managing mechanisms in the plant say it needs more pressure in the plant to accomplish something like new enzymes making or something like that..and leaves pointingup is just a byproduct...think it's a chemistry thing more so than outside stimuli. I also only see it in really healthy plants. usually a day or 2 after watering. Just a guess really, not a botanist, but i see on plants that dont need a darn thing, so it must be growth oriented right?

Hello,
Old thread, I know. My bad. However, if you would indulge me - what do you mean exactly by water pressure? Outside force on rhizosphere? H2O absorption?
thank you

Osmosis occurs when two solutions containing different concentrations of solute are separated by a selectively permeable membrane.

This is a very important factor in biology because the intracellular environment is different from the extracellular environment. If the extracellular environment changes, it may cause water to flow into or out of cells.
so that's my theory, regular cell activity but everything goes into overdrive, simultaneously. Cuz the environment is perfect, machine running optimally. Everything swells like a hydraulic actuator.

What is everything? And why is it swelling? I don't think hydraulic actuators actually swell.

no that's vasodilators, the extra auxins up top may be adding to the effect also.

 

[mudballs]

that's a vasodilator too

I just call em boobs. Lol

 

[Jerbot9000]

Wow! Very well informed, explained and plausible.
Thank you

there's only so many functioning systems in these things. like taking apart a computer motherboard and trying to understand every single thing you're looking at and how each of em runs
Edit, saw padawans little lol and fixed wording

Are we talking about plants again now,
