The strategies adopted by plants that enable them to grow in every possible environment, even where there is no sunlight, water or nutrients. Featuring the dragon's blood tree, which survives in the desert by converting moisture found in the mist and shading its own roots, the carnivorous Venus flytrap that has evolved into an extraordinary predator able to digest insects, and the cat's claw creeper, which uses other plants as a ladder to reach sunlight.
