Everything about Monopodial totally explained
Vascular plants with
monopodial growth habits grow upward from a single point. They add leaves to the apex each year and the stem grows longer accordingly. The word
Monopodial is derived from Greek "mono-",
one and "podial", "foot", in reference to the fact that monopodial plants have a single trunk or stem.
Orchids with monopodial growth often produce copious aerial roots that often hang down in long drapes and have green
chlorophyll underneath the grey
root coverings which are used as additional photosynthetic organs. They don't have a
rhizome or
pseudobulbs so species adapted to dry periods have fleshy succulent leaves instead. Flowers generally come from the stem between the leaves. With some monopodial species, the stem (the
rhizome) might fork into two, but for all monopodial orchids this isn't necessary for continued growth, as opposed to orchids with
sympodial growth.
