Plants turn in spirals as they grow, so that the cells are not produced in straight lines. It is better to grow in a circlular motion, because this is sturdier and more compact. The golden ratio for plant rotation is 1.61803... which is demonstrated in the leaf roations or flower patterns below:
When two successive Fibonacci numbers are divided, they equal numbers close to the golden ratio!
2 / 3= 1.5
3 / 5 = 1.666666
5/ 8 = 1.6
