Developing plant adhesives opens opportunities for studying and optimizing plant growth through precision pesticide and nutrient delivery, plant health monitoring, and human-plant interaction. However, diverse and changing topologies and chemical compositions of plants during growth present challenges in designing effective and universal adhesives. In this study, we address this challenge by developing a gel composite consisting of a biopolymer that enables dynamic covalent bonding with plant su
