Plants explode to spread seeds

Some plants can spread seeds about 60 meters away thanks to a special explosion mechanism created by themselves.

The tree dispersed seeds by exploding itself

The Smithsonian Channel published a video on June 11 that shows that many species of flowers are like violet, don't touch me (touch-me-not) and cucumber (squirting cucumbers) to make small explosions to spread seeds. go far.

When the seed coat of the violets is dry, it creates enough pressure to force the seeds into the air . According to Abundant Nature, the touch-me-not tree develops a long, slender seed shell that can explode if touched, pushing the particle a few steps away. The cucumber plant spouts its seeds like a small geyser.

Seed exploding is an evolutionary way to disperse seeds away from the mother plant. Some plants have the ability to push seeds about 60 meters away.
