Plant of the day: Myrmecodia beccarii🌿
FACT: The Myrmecodia is one of the few plants that have a mutually beneficial relationship with animals. The Myrmecodia is a home for the cadeux ant! The plant has a hollow base and the produces food for the ants (a wax like substance). In return the ants protect the plant from leaf eating pests and predators. Also the plant gets nutrients from the ants waste! What a crazy and beautiful world! 🤯🌿
