Watch this fascinating Oxalis plant in action! 🌱With a gentle touch or when its seed pods are ripe, they explode and shoot seeds up to 4 meters (over 13 feet) away. This impressive adaptation helps the plant spread its seeds farther, reducing competition between offspring and giving them a better chance to thrive. Truly nature’s genius!
