None apart from a few fungi on organic detritus, with the artificial exception of green algae and ferns surviving around show-cave flood-lights - a form of pollution known as "lampenflora" (German, lit. 'lamp flora').

The nearness of a cave is not relevant. The geology, altitude and topography of an area affect its vegetation, not the existence or otherwise of caves.

Shade-loving green plants such as ferns and algae will grow in cave entrances, to a point, but not underground of course. Limestone pavement will also host a range of plants suited to the conditions within its grykes.

What plants are grown in caves?

I am not sure if you mean "are cultivated" or "grow naturally". Chlorophyllic plants will not survive underground, but caves and tunnels have been used as mushroom farms and (rather stretching the point) maturing cheeses - the blue varieties are so by veins of microscopic fungi. Fungi will grow naturally underground but only if suitable nutrients are available, such as from the body of a dead insect or washed-in vegetable matter.

Why are there so few producers in caves?

Caves typically have limited space, resources, and access to sunlight, all of which are essential for producers like plants to thrive. The harsh conditions such as low light levels and scarce nutrients make it difficult for plants to grow in caves, leading to fewer producers in such environments.


What type of plants live in a cave?

There are no plants in caves,except for the grasses and such at the mouth of a cave, as there is no sunlight.


Can plants grow in caves?

Yes, some plants can grow in caves as long as there is sufficient light, water, and nutrients available. The types of plants that can thrive in caves are often specialized to the low light and high humidity conditions found in these environments. Examples include ferns, mosses, and certain fungi species.
