What makes a tropism positive or negative?
Positive = movement towards stimulus, Negative = movement away from stimulus
Negative = movement towards stimulus, Positive = movement away from stimulus
Who cares? It doesn't matter whether it is positive or negative
Positive = when a plant is happy, Negative = when a plant is sad
