Planting over the head means: strain in the earth, leaves also, spices up. There’s nothing.

But if you mean hanging a pot with plants over a copy: it doesn’t work because you can’t pour it. Because of gravity. But even if you somehow manage to get the roots of water coming, it will always try to grow up.

I just imagined what that might look like.

You can’t think about it. Conversely, the whole earth falls out 😂

If you plant a plant over your head, it just bends and grows up. Plants know where “top” and where “bottom” is, because they can perceive gravity. In specialized sensor cells (statocytes) are so-called. Statoliths with which they can detect gravity. The small statoliths follow gravity and therefore always sink in the cell to the position where “bottom” is.

More rapid growth can be induced with phytohormones (Auxin), apart from the fact that one should optimally supply a plant with nutrients.

Yes, but: The force of gravity will be able to draw the plant fibers only to a limited extent into the length. The effect is therefore negligible. And at the latest if you turn around the plant again when, for example, visit is in the house or they must be cast, the fibers will be back to their natural length. Whether it’s worth choosing.

No, the countertum will happen. At least in most plants. They are designed to grow upwards, and will also try when you catch them around.

Exactly. This does not accelerate growth straight. Also does not fit with the orientation of the sunlight …

Yeah, and that’s why you could hang on your feet, you’ll grow faster *lg*

Nix. It has nothing to do with it.
