@lilmisssmartyplants: Did you know that plant diseases have had an impact in the way we celebrate the hollidays?! Well now you do! I’m starting a series talking about some of these examples. First up is Poinsettias. Did you know that almost all of the ones you can find in the United States are sick?? Edit from original video: I misspoke and called phytoplasmas a ‘bateria-like’ organism. They are in fact bacteria but are unique in that they lack a cell wall like most bacteria. What I meant to say is we consider them to be “virus-like” in the way that they spread and the symptoms that they cause are common for viral plant infections. #holidayvibes #plantstufff #PlantTok #PlantLover #plantnerd #holidaytiktok
