Actually, I left that plant UP there. I was adjusting the roof with the lady of the house and didn't want to "get caught with my plants DOWN."

We are all familuar with "plant rooms and or Florida rooms", Steve in Texas this is what we know as a "plant roof". These plants help to shade the roof below them from the extreme Texas sun & heat. This varity of plant roof requires low levels of watering. |

As the picture was coming into focus I thought, "Duh, there are leaves, oh, uh oh" and I began to, literally, shriek with laughter!!!!!! I always love finding plants GROWING on the roof. And you always hope that the insured doesn't have interior damage. God KNOWS what GROWS inside! |

It might just be "Texas Mold"
Be extra careful in the roof remediation.

Steve, this is sold in Texas as the ultimate Cactus deck. Apparently someone chose this option while the metal decking was being installed. |

Seems simple enough to any horticulturist. The roof in the photo was not cleared of the debris, which over time turned to compost,(great growing agent, coupled with airborne dirt)and air borne spores of the cacti came in contact, and voila' you have a POR (plant on roof)
This is very common on BUR's (Built up roofs) as they are rarely properly maintained, and there have been instances of TREES 6-8' tall growing, along with grass, plants , flowers and weeds.
Incident, it is NOT an insurance issue by any stretch of the imagination.
Clean it and it will go away. |
