[DAILY RAMBLINGS WITH @DKLEF DAY #2]: HOW DO PLANTS SURVIVE ON CONCRETE WALLS?

HOW DO PLANTS SURVIVE ON CONCRETE WALLS?

<hr /> <p dir="auto">I have always wondered about this; <em>how do plants grow on walls? Especially old walls. I remember when I traveled to my hometown in Delta State last year. I saw alot of building whose walls had plants growing on them. I know I shouldn't be talking about my hometown like that. But hey this is just me being real as I <strong><em>think out loud!. Delta State has a few cities that are developed. Same as a few underdeveloped places like -- Ugheli, Kwale, Ogwashi, etc. Although people over there are really nice folks. <p dir="auto"><em>Anyhoo! Back to the topic; plants that grow on walls, how do they survive? <p dir="auto">Who waters them? How did they get to germinate in the first place? Pardon me if some of these questions appear to you like I am uninformed. They are just things that I haven't gotten 'good' answers to. For sure I know about pollination, agents and all that jazz. But my wonder still is; how do these plants survive on wall cracks and holes? How do they keep moisture? <p dir="auto">It's not like there are sands on these walls -- at least it doesn't appear that way.<br /> I still wonder how plants get their roots and are able to survive on <strong><em>'wall concretes'!. <hr /> <p dir="auto">Haven't you thought about it? Well it has been something that has remained a mystery to me. <h1>A look at an example; <p dir="auto"><center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP7N5ytPLAsCHxWc4jfdsH8shvkY2CmqLsJt1bMAiLqBp/download-small-plants-growing-on-a-wall-stock-photo-image-of-grow-ancient-that-walls-in-india-old-brick-temple.jpg" alt="download-small-plants-growing-on-a-wall-stock-photo-image-of-grow-ancient-that-walls-in-india-old-brick-temple.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP7N5ytPLAsCHxWc4jfdsH8shvkY2CmqLsJt1bMAiLqBp/download-small-plants-growing-on-a-wall-stock-photo-image-of-grow-ancient-that-walls-in-india-old-brick-temple.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP7N5ytPLAsCHxWc4jfdsH8shvkY2CmqLsJt1bMAiLqBp/download-small-plants-growing-on-a-wall-stock-photo-image-of-grow-ancient-that-walls-in-india-old-brick-temple.jpg 2x" /><br /> <center><a href="http://inspiredme.co/view/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">plant growing on concrete walls <pre><code> DO YOU SEE ORGANIC SOIL?
