Just a correction, rubiaceous ant plants do not have extrafloral nectaries inside their caudex. Rough internal surfaces are modified root-like structures that absorb ant debris.

I read somewhere that they can heal from being cut in half pretty well so there's a good chance it lived if it makes you feel better lol

So do these ants ever leave their plant for ...let's say sweet things on the ground? Or are they specific to trees? Kudos on the video..I never knew about ant plants.
