<header></header> </infobox> A vast range of flora grows in the world, varying greatly from place to place depending on climate and conditions.[1]
Habitats
There are several distinct habitats in the Avatar World, each suitable for different species and variations of plants.
Foggy Swamp
Due to its humid air, the Foggy Swamp is home to a large number of plants, which are all densely packed into the area together with the other organisms that live there.[2]
