Dr. Russell Sharp explains vivipary, a rare form of plant propagation where seeds germinate while still attached to the parent plant, producing plantlets that drop off ready to grow.


The episode covers causes (low ABA/high moisture), examples (mangroves, Kalanchoe, alliums, carnivorous plants, tomatoes, cannabis), differences from false vivipary, and practical implications for hydroponic growers.
