plants grow upward, because they are attracted to sunlight. This causes them to follow the light and grow closer to it. For instance if you put a growing plant in a pitch black room, except for, say a flashlight, to its right side for a certain amount of time the plant will grow to its right side.

How can I grow tall mint plants in my garden?
To grow tall mint plants in your garden, plant them in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. Water regularly, but be careful not to overwater. Prune the plants regularly to encourage upward growth and prevent them from becoming too bushy. Additionally, consider using a trellis or stake for support as the plants grow taller.
What causes a plant to grow upward?
Okay, well there is tropism and stimulus. The stimulus can be gravity, light, and touch. So it depends... If there is a window above the plant and it is reaching upwards towards it... then it would be light, and the plant's response would be reaching upward towards it.
Examples of plants of geotropism?
Examples of plants that exhibit positive geotropism include roots, which grow downward into the soil, and stems, which grow upward towards the light. Negative geotropism is seen in plants like vines, which grow away from the force of gravity, and in some flowering plants, whose pollen tubes grow upwards to reach the ovules.
Why are myTopsyTurvy tomato plants growing upward instead of down like they are supposed to?
plants grow naturally toward the sun my guess is (I'm only in fifth grade) that when your tomatoes grow in they will weigh it down but personally I don't see why you would spend money on that when it isn't that hard to grow a garden ( me and my grandpa grow a garden every year
What is a person speaking of ScrOg refering to?
ScrOg, or Screen of Green, is a term used in the indoor growing of plants, specifically marijuana. A screen and netting is used to hold plants upward and towards the lights that are used for growing. The plants are trained to grow through the screen and netting.
What signaled the stems to grow upward?
Warm sunlight.
What is a plants response to gravity?
Plants use gravity to help determine the direction in which to grow their roots and stems. This response is known as gravitropism - roots grow downward with gravity, while stems grow upward against gravity, a process mediated by plant hormones called auxins.
Do potatoes grow on plants?
Potatoes are plants. They do not grow on other plants.
What is an aloe plants growth habit trees or shrubs or vines?

What do epiphytic and parastic plants grow on?
Epiphytic plants grow on other plants for support and parasitic plants grow on host plants for support and food both.
How can you tell that the corn plants were responding to gravity rather than light water or the direction the seed was pointing?
Corn plants exhibit a phenomenon called gravitropism, where their roots grow downward in response to gravity while their shoots grow upward. If the corn plants were placed in a dark environment and still demonstrated this growth direction, it would indicate a response to gravity rather than light. Additionally, if the plants were rotated, but their roots continued to grow downward and shoots upward, this further supports the conclusion that gravity is the primary factor influencing their growth orientation. Other factors like water and seed orientation would not consistently produce the same directional responses.
