Some cave passages may break thru to the surface forming a sky-light. In the zone were the sunlight reaches the soil, trees can live for hundreds of years, growing up all the way out of the cave. Some caves that are large sinkholes have floors that are over an acre in size. It is like a mini-rainforest down deep in those caves.
Artificial light can be used to grow plants in caves. Commercial (or show-) caves sometimes have patches of algae growing near their lamps.*
Seedlings wash deep into caves and sprout, but they usually die off after a few weeks. But this can be a food source to tiny creatures that live in those passages.

*Know collectively as "lampenflora" (German, lit. 'Lamp flora') and now regarded as a nuisance by many show-cave owners. Some show-caves arrange limited lighting, rather than leaving the flood-lights on all the time the cave is open for tours, to minimise such vegetation. The species are generally of ferns and algae introduced as spores on visitor's clothing or wafting in on air-currents.
What else can I help you with?
Do crystals grow in caves?
Yes, crystals can grow in caves. Caves provide the ideal conditions for crystals to form, such as stable temperatures and mineral-rich solutions seeping through the rock formations. This process can lead to the gradual growth of beautiful crystal formations within the cave over time.
What type of speleotherms found in limestone caves grow upward from the floor?
Stalagmites are the type of speleothems found in limestone caves that grow upward from the floor. They form as mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling and deposits calcium carbonate on the cave floor, gradually building up over time.
What is formed by the erosion of soft rock by flowing groundwater?
caves
Do plants grown hydroponically or in soil?
Plants can be grown both hydroponically and in soil. In hydroponic systems, plants grow in a nutrient-rich water solution without soil. In traditional soil-based gardening, plants grow in natural soil with nutrients available for uptake. Both methods have their advantages and can support healthy plant growth.
What is the earth called where seeds grow?
it is because Earth is the planet with LIFE. and god made plants grow, we also take care the plants so that they will live
Why do green plants not grow inside caves?
Green plants require sunlight for photosynthesis, and sunlight rarely reaches into caves with sufficient intensity to support their growth.
Which plants do not need sunlight?
Some fungi will grow without light. A mushroom is a good example, they grow in caves.
Does grass grow in caves?
yes
What plants are grown in caves?
I am not sure if you mean "are cultivated" or "grow naturally". Chlorophyllic plants will not survive underground, but caves and tunnels have been used as mushroom farms and (rather stretching the point) maturing cheeses - the blue varieties are so by veins of microscopic fungi. Fungi will grow naturally underground but only if suitable nutrients are available, such as from the body of a dead insect or washed-in vegetable matter.
Do potatoes grow on plants?
Potatoes are plants. They do not grow on other plants.
What type of plants live in a cave?
There are no plants in caves,except for the grasses and such at the mouth of a cave, as there is no sunlight.
Why are there so few producers in caves?
Caves have so few producers because of the lack of sun. A producer makes its food from the suns energy and without that there aren't producers. some caves have types of micro organisms that make their own food from other sources of energy and could possibly be considered producer type organisms themselves.
Why did the Spain people move from the caves?
The majority of Spanish people have not lived in caves since the Neolithic Period. Presumably, they left the caves so that they could grow crops in the sunlight.
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.
