Plants diversity in our home town's Journal

1. A unique adaptation of the Haworthia plants
   My mom grows several Haworthia plants in our apartment: Some of them are placed on a window still which made them more exposed to sunlight and others on bedside tables which are not exposed to sunlight. An obvious difference I observed is that those who are more exposed to sunlight have thicker roots and greener color.

2. A common adaptation:
   Most of the observations are located in my neighborhood where pesticides are often sprayed in a large scale. This indicates that the plants I observed have all adapted to those pesticides in order of them to grow and reproduce.

Some adapations of one of my observation.

Jujube: In order to survive in cold winter, the jujube tree has a characteristic-----Winter dormancy. This allows them to withstand temperatures below zero in winter. A wide range of temperature that the jujube tree can withstand make their distribution is extremely wide (Southern to Northern China).

According to “One zoom”: Lotus belongs to plant domain, Magnoliopsida, Nymphaeales, Nymphaeaceae, Nuphar.

I cannot find common adaptions for all of my observations, since they are not same species. Some of them from desert, some of them from rainforest. I do find common adaptions for water pennyworts and lotus. Their roots and root hair are absent because they both live in water.

One common adapations for Fern and Asparagus Fern. When you touch their leaves, you will feel very waxy, almost like a cactus. This can help them keeping water, especially in dry conditions.
