🌴 Fun Fact Friday: Tropical Edition! 🌴
It’s time for another Fun Fact Friday, and this week we’re featuring some of our favourite tropical plants!
🌿 Swiss Cheese Philodendrons have evolved holes in their leaves that help water and wind pass through them in their natural environments.
🌺 Bougainvillea may be known for their vibrant colour, but did you know they also have thorns?
🌸 Bromeliads use their roots mainly for balance and support, while taking in most of their water and nutrients through their leaves.
🌳 Rubber Trees were highly sought after in the early 1900s because their latex sap was used to produce natural rubber.
Which fact did you find the most interesting?
Stop by Lakeland Plant World and explore our tropical greenhouse—there’s always something new to discover! 🌿
