Some general information about a plant is the plant's survival needs. One of the needs is sunlight at all times, which helps the plant go into photosynthesis. They also need brackish water, which can be found at the beach; these plants can be submerged by high tide and survive. For nutrients, the plant gains them from the surroundings around it because it is a rock dweller, and it absorbs the minerals. These plants live on rocky coastal cliffs. Finally, these plants like the warmer climate and cannot survive in cold climates. See more
