Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (common names: split-leaf philodendron, [1] lacy tree philodendron, selloum, horsehead philodendron, [2] guaimbé [citation needed]) is a plant in the genus Thaumatophyllum, in the family Araceae. Previously it was classified in the genus Philodendron within subgenus Meconostigma.
These plants can be cultivated and bred as a long term phosphorus deficiency prevention method. Along with root size, other root adaptations to low phosphorus, such as mycorrhizal symbioses, have been found to increase nutrient intake. [10] These adaptations to roots work to maintain levels of vital nutrients.
Philodendron hederaceum Lemon Lime. P. hederaceum can grow with its roots both in and out of the soil, deeming it a semi-epiphyte. [10] Its uses include ornamental household decoration. It is a popular choice for such display due to its striking green coloration, spiraling, fast growing leaves, and convenient size.
A primary hemiepiphytic philodendron starts life high up in the canopy where the seed initially sprouts. The plant then grows as an epiphyte. Once it has reached a sufficient size and age, it will begin producing aerial roots that grow toward the forest floor. Once they reach the forest floor, nutrients can be obtained directly from the soil.
Nutrients are usually the first link in the food chain, thus a loss of nutrients in a habitat will affect nutrient cycling and eventually the entire food chain. [2] [3] Nutrient depletion can refer to shifts in the relative nutrient composition and overall nutrient quantity (i.e. food abundance). Human activity has changed both in the natural ...
Monstera deliciosa, the Swiss cheese plant [2] or split-leaf philodendron [3] is a species of flowering plant native to tropical forests of southern Mexico, south to Panama. [4] It has been introduced to many tropical areas, and has become a mildly invasive species in Hawaii , Seychelles , Ascension Island and the Society Islands .
The root microbiome (also called rhizosphere microbiome) is the dynamic community of microorganisms associated with plant roots. [1] Because they are rich in a variety of carbon compounds, plant roots provide unique environments for a diverse assemblage of soil microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea.
Vitamin deficiency is the condition of a long-term lack of a vitamin. When caused by not enough vitamin intake it is classified as a primary deficiency, whereas when due to an underlying disorder such as malabsorption it is called a secondary deficiency. An underlying disorder can have 2 main causes:
