Isn't it creepy when you can see plants move throughout the day in order to follow the sun?

My office plant, which is a Christmas Cactus, moves its stems all over the place. They'll straighten out completely, rise up, cross over each other and all kinds of things. When I water it, I can almost watch its stems (arms?) rising. I keep thinking I'm going to hear, "Feed me!" I had an ivy-like plant at home that would go crazy when I turned out the lights. I could hear a bunch of movement and when I turned the light back on, all of the leaves were standing stright up trying to find a light source. Creeeepy! Do any of your plants behave like this? Or are yours hardly noticeable?

Reply:It happens its called photosynthesis. Yes it is erie but happens in my home a lot and outside as well. I have all kinds of plants and veggie plants. My sunflowers do that..they droop when the sun shifts, goes away, and when the sun comes up or goes down.

Reply:Yeah, it is a little creepy.
Reply:I don't have a green thumb. I bought some potted mums and they died quickly, so I don't even try anymore. But that is kinda creepy, the plants moving like that. I just think of plants being moved by the wind... not by themselves. Odd but cool.
Reply:no, I don't think so. But then again I have grown plants most of my life, plus if you have any kudzu around where you live they are creepy ! they grow like a foot a day !
Reply:sorry i don't watch my plants grow, life is too busy
Reply:Not really creepy, just photosynthesis
Reply:No i don't i think its creepy. It is interesting to observe and see what it will do next. It will get creepy if it grabs at you to gulp you.
