Oh, plants, we could never be able to count the ways we love you! Your calming green leaves give us serenity, the oxygen you produce brings us life, and your healing powers bring us health. Truly, there is no doubt that plants are life, and we love life! And, as life comes with various fun and interesting bits of info, so do plants. That’s why we’ve dedicated this list to everything and all about our green friends - welcome aboard to our facts about plants roster!

Now, you might already know some plant facts even before checking our lineup, but there are loads more plant trivia to learn! For instance, did you know that a cucumber is a fruit and not a vegetable? Or that the caffeine that most of us adore so much actually works as a pesticide for the coffee plant? Or did you know that there’s a carnivorous plant capable of devouring a fully-grown rat? P.S.: That’s one of our weird plant facts, but you can be sure that not all of them are such - others are purely incredible! 

We have to admit something here - the deeper we dug into these cool facts about plants, the more we realized how little we actually knew about our little leafy fellas. That said, these interesting facts did help us expand our knowledge, and hopefully, you’ll find them useful too. 

So, without any further ado, let’s skip to the fun facts about plants, shall we? As usual, they are just a leaf’s length further down, and once you are there, be sure to rank the facts by their awesomeness. Lastly, share this article with anyone who might enjoy it!

All members of the sunflower family, including daisies, yarrow, goldenrod, asters, coreopsis, and bachelor's buttons, have this characteristic.

Another old species is the dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), which has been around for roughly 150 million years.

Close up white flower Some plants are self-pollinators. They move the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma on the same flower. These plants can reproduce without the aid of pollinators like insects. Self-pollination occurs in very few plants. Peanuts, orchids, peas, and sunflowers are a few examples.

The term was given to the areas that were leased to the merchant group headed by Ferno de Loronha in the early 16th century to exploit brazilwood for the purpose of producing wood dyes for the European textile industry.

Picture of many red flowers in one place Plants may not have noses, but they use chemicals in the air to sense their surroundings. Dodder is a parasitic plant that adheres to other plants and feeds on their sap for nutrition. Yet, it can "smell" other plants instead of growing aimlessly in search of something edible. Dodder can feel which plants are healthier and so better able to supply nutrition, choosing tomatoes over wheat as its favorite food.

Close up titan arum flower The titan arum flower (Amorphophallus titanium), which can grow up to 15 feet tall, is the world's biggest unbranched bloom. The bloom has a smell comparable to that of rotting meat, therefore the common name "corpse flower." Another plant from the Sumatran rainforests, the Rafflesia, has a similar scent. As they don't compete with other blooms for butterflies and hummingbirds, both developed their aroma to draw pollinating flies.
