Live Births in Plants: The Strange Science of Vivipary

Dr. Russell Sharp explains vivipary, a rare form of plant propagation where seeds germinate while still attached to the parent plant, producing plantlets that drop off ready to grow. The episode covers causes (low ABA/high moisture), examples (mangroves, Kalanchoe, alliums, carnivorous plants, tomatoes, cannabis), differences from false vivipary, and practical implications for hydroponic growers.   https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/organic-fertilisers/seaweed-extract-cold-processed/
