Weeds are incredibly resilient plants that can grow in a variety of conditions, including in cement and rocks. There are a few reasons why they are able to thrive in these seemingly inhospitable environments.
First, weeds have deep roots that can reach down to find water and nutrients. Even in the cracks of cement and rocks, there may be enough moisture and nutrients for a weed to survive.
Second, weeds have the ability to sprout from their roots or from seed, which means that even if the top of a weed is removed, the plant can still grow back from its roots. This makes it difficult to fully remove weeds from cement and rock surfaces.
Third, many weeds have a high tolerance for heat, cold, drought, and poor soil conditions. Some weeds are able to survive in extreme temperatures and can even grow in the scorching heat of pavement and rocks.
Finally, weeds are opportunistic plants and will take advantage of any available space to grow. When cement or rocks are present in a landscape, weeds will often sprout in the small crevices and gaps, making them difficult to control.
In summary, weeds are able to grow in cement and rocks because of their deep roots, ability to sprout from roots or seed, high tolerance for harsh conditions and opportunistic nature. It’s important to control them in order to prevent them from taking over your garden or landscaping.
