Basic Information

Anatomy

a short curly, leafy plant that produces roots through the top soil and grows close together and sometimes produces runners

Biological Traits

usually very short, grows very close together, occasionally will grow longer if it isn't getting adequate light

Genetics and Reproduction

each instance of the plant is either male or female, and when it reaches maturity it flowers accordingly, wind usually spreads pollen from the male stamens to the female pistins. when the female flower has been pollinated, it produces a small red berry containing one seed

Growth Rate & Stages

About three days after lodging in soil, two small shoots break out, one that will become a root and one that will break the surface. Another six days and it has a 4 mm coil above ground. Six or seven days later, it unfurls. Two weeks later, it matures, producing a flower. It will either be male or female, and produce it’s flower accordingly. Once the female flower is pollinated, it will produce a small red berry containing the seed. The berry typically takes 6 days to develop.

Ecology and Habitats

this species is often planted for ground cover, because its roots hold the top soil. Its berries are also edible to some other species, which aids in its spread.

Dietary Needs and Habits

photosynthesis, does best in very sunny areas, but can also grow with some shade

Biological Cycle

during very cold months, the surface parts of the plant wither and die, but they will resprout once the ground thaws

Additional Information

2 years

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
