Extreme Environments & Adaptations

In Earth’s harshest realms, plants defy the odds. Desert cacti hoard water in their succulent stems, arctic mosses create antifreeze proteins to survive the frost, alpine flora huddle close against biting winds, and bog plants forge secret symbioses with fungi. Even the resurrection plant revives after total desiccation. Nature’s incredible adaptations inspire our potent plant potions.

Mirror-World knowledge in this quest​

  • Desert Cacti: Store water in thick, fleshy stems to survive drought.
  • Arctic Moss: Synthesizes antifreeze proteins that lower freezing points.
  • Alpine Plants: Develop compact, cushion-like forms to minimize water loss.
  • Bog Plants: Establish mutualistic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi in poor soils.
  • Resurrection Plants: Endure complete desiccation and revive upon rehydration.
  • Mangroves: Possess specialized salt glands to thrive in saline environments.
  • Ephemeral Bloomers: Complete their life cycle in just a few days following rain.
