The question of circumstance

What is a fasciation?

Fasciation is a natural phenomenon resulting from an anomaly in plant growth. This anomaly causes the plant to grow in bundles (hence the name fasciation). It can affect stems, flowers or fruit. In the case of ivy, fasciation generally concerns the stems.

This phenomenon is in no way detrimental to the plant. On the contrary, some fasciations significantly embellish the plant concerned, making it all the more valuable, as this anomaly of nature is quite rare. It’s all the more difficult to cause, as botanists are still unable to clearly explain the cause(s).

Don’t miss out on these natural curiosities!
