They get the nutrients they need from the leaves that fall from a top them. When the leave falls on top of them, it gets decomposed, and all of the nutrients go into the plant.

Could a vascular live without its root?

No, a vascular plant cannot live without its root. Roots are essential for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, anchoring the plant in place, and storing energy reserves. Without roots, the plant would not be able to survive.


Can plant survive without humanbeing?

Yes, plants can survive without human beings. They have existed for millions of years and are capable of thriving in various ecosystems without human intervention. Plants rely on natural processes, such as photosynthesis, water, and soil nutrients, to grow and reproduce. In fact, many plant species flourish in wild environments, demonstrating their ability to adapt and survive independently.


Materials for the experiment can plants grow without soil?

A hypothesis issimply a sentence that says what you think the outcome will be. for example: I belive plants can grow without water because soil does not carry vital nutrients. (soil carries nutrients but they arent needed)


How can a floating pond plant such as duckweed survive without having its roots in soil?

Duckweed can survive without roots in soil because it absorbs nutrients and water directly from the surrounding water through its leaves. This adaptation allows it to thrive in aquatic environments where soil is absent. Additionally, duckweed can photosynthesize efficiently, using sunlight to produce energy. Its buoyant nature enables it to float and access light while simultaneously facilitating nutrient uptake.


Will your plant survive in a vase of water?

It depends on the type of plant. Some plants can survive in water for a period of time, but most plants are not adapted to long-term growth in water. Eventually, a plant will require nutrients from soil to thrive.

Could plants would survive if they were pulled out of the soil?

No, because without soil, the plant can not grow and plants need the soil so they can collect water so it can grow. Also, the soil helps the root keep the plant in place.


How can long can Phytophthora Cinnamomi survive without plants and soil?

PC can form chlamydospores when conditions are not favourable to it. These are hard shelled spores (almost like a seed) which can survive for years in soil without any plant material. Current science thinks this could be up to or more than ten years. A chlamydospore could theoretically survive without soil as well though they are usually found in soil.

Why is it harder for plant to survive in a rocky soil?

rocky soil has less nutrients than regular soil.


How long does a plant that grow with out soil live?

Not very long. About a day or so, seeing as plants need nutrients to survive. Without nutrients, the plant and its cells will shrivel up and die. Along with the plant.


How long can aloe vera survive without soil?

Aloe vera can survive without soil for about 2-3 weeks, as it stores water in its leaves.


Can a Monstera plant survive indefinitely in water?

No, a Monstera plant cannot survive indefinitely in water as it requires soil for proper growth and nutrition.


Can plant survive without humanbeing?

Yes, plants can survive without human beings. They have existed for millions of years and are capable of thriving in various ecosystems without human intervention. Plants rely on natural processes, such as photosynthesis, water, and soil nutrients, to grow and reproduce.

Will a plant survive if planted in a glass vase?

No, a plant will not survive if planted in a glass vase because it needs soil for nutrients and proper drainage for water to thrive.


Is soil living thing?

Soil is a complex mixture of minerals, dead plant matter and a host of microscopic living things feeding on the dead plant material. Most biologists would describe soil as being 'alive'.
