Is it common / normal for plants to grow towards each other?

I have a row of house plants that all seem to be growing towards eachother!

Is it common / normal for plants to grow towards each other?
Interesting. Never heard of that. You probably know that plants will orient themselves toward the light because they need it.



Plants, and all of life, are amazing.

Reply:I've got two apple trees in my back yard about three feet apart. When they were planted 12 years ago, they grew straight up. Over the years, they have intertwined to where they look like they are hugging each other. Perhaps your plants are just too close together and it looks like they are growing towards each other.
Reply:I'm not pretty sure.. but leaves have positive reaction towards sunlight..
Reply:In addition to being drawn to light plants like to grow away from gravity and sometimes grow towards each other to prop each other up. A good experiment to do to test the gravity theory is to plant them on a record player and keep the record player turning slowly all the time. I saw it done once. The results were very cool.
