What is  Amar Bel:
Amar Bel, also known as "Immortal Vine," is a type of parasitic vine related to the Morning Glory family. It grows in a prolific manner over host plants or other support, with inter-twined stems giving it the common name of "Devil's Hair."

Initially, the starter plant would have had some roots. Within a few days of germination, this touch-sensitive plant finds a host and dies if it can't find one. After establishing itself on a host body, it draws nutrition from that host as a stem parasite and its own roots wither away. The twining stem develops Haustoria which are root-like and penetrate the host stem to draw water and nourishment.

The flowers are small—white with a perfect bell shape and fleshy calyx attached directly to the stem nodes—and they come in clusters at the end of each twining strand. The plant is voracious and destructive; it will overgrow and kill its host if left unchecked! It can also be a cause of transmission for different virus diseases such as Citrus mosaic (CMV) or Purple
