HEYA!!!
- There’s one thing about leaves that science has long agreed upon: They only grow so big as available water allows — but not so big that the whole plant overheats.
- The water part makes sense. We all need water to grow. And the sun? Leaves collect those rays and, through photosynthesis, convert them into food.
- Too much direct sunlight and that photosynthetic engine spins hot and risks burning out.
- A plant's leaves are perfectly designed to capture sunlight and carbon dioxide — and thanks to the marvel that is photosynthesis — turning them into food.
- So, when it comes to the size of leaves, plants sing a simple refrain: Water grows. Sunshine restrains. And somewhere in the middle, there’s a happy balance of a leaf that grows just the right size under its own unique set of circumstances.
