Exploding Cucumbers! | Slo Mo #36 | Earth Unplugged
Plants are awesome too! We have filmed a lot of animals on Slo Mo for Earth Unplugged, so we thought it was about time that some plants got a look in, and we were pretty blown away with the results!
Sam and Si look at Himalayan balsam and the squirting cucumber, revealing in super slow motion hot these two incredible plants spread their seeds using high pressure mechanisms.

I like exploding seeds
I didn’t know that the seed openings for squirting cucumbers were right where the fruits attach to their stems!
I found a small plant in my backyard with seed pods that do the same thing
I’m guessing the exploding plant originates from greater arabia …

Imagine walking through your garden and having a plant nut on you
very good and interesting.
When its 1 december
The day I walk through someone’s garden and a plant nuts on me is the day someone’s garden gets lit on fire
Excellent!
After no nut November :
Plants orgasms.
What’s the title of the music at 1:00 called?
Why?
I came across your video while looking up the scientific name for the exploding/squirting cucumber – which is used as a homeopathic medicine. I had never heard of it. The H. Balsam you showed is very surprising. I have only ever heard of Balsam wood that they use to make the little airplane models that they used to give school kids cause they were cheap, but lots of fun. That balsam is extremely light weight. The one you showed makes a beautiful showy flower. It is one of the impatients. Its character gave it its name. All parts of the plant are edible. The flowers can be made in jam and jelly. I guess people forgot about that. Thanks for sharing.
I was relaxed studying angiosperms and all of a sudden i discovered the best youtube channel ever.
When nature nuts
I wish i could throw my seed up to 7 meters.
One little touch is all it takes to squirt.
Yo this is basically nutting because the plant is shooting its seed
That was awesome
Soooooooooooo satisfying
LOL This is making it too easy to use as a dirty joke. God, I need to share this with my friends. They’d probably think I was watching porn only to find out this is a actual plant!!!
My favourite plant
iFunny anyone???
They need to do one on the fruit of the Hura crepitans, otherwise known as the sandbox tree. That’s if they can get a fruit there without violently exploding lol!
2 days into nonutvember
Cool! #StayTapuAlways
cucumber nut
Imagine walking through your garden and getting nutted on
Imagine walking through your garden in get nutted on..
Seeds bursting is pretty common but why plants do that is a big story. Something to do with cell vacuoles. And rapid cell division technology.
Lazarbeam? Try not to laugh 4chan???
This is how I disperse my seeds :¬)
Busted a nut
am currently doing some Botany study, so this is brilliant… thanks!
Me lmao
