🧪 Phyllotaxis: Angle of Spiral Growth

This simulation explores phyllotaxis – the mathematical arrangement of leaves or florets in a plant’s stem – and how changing the spiral angle impacts density and growth efficiency. By manipulating the angle, users can visualize and understand the underlying principles governing this natural phenomenon.
