Plants are made up of five major parts: Roots, Stems, Leaves, Flowers ...		View PDF

There is a direct relationship between desired light intensities for the plant, and the original plant habitat. With air conditioning and heating in common use in homes and...		View PDF
HARDENING OFF AND WIND PROTECTION FOR PLANT SEEDLINGS
The hardening off process is used to improve the survival and growth of plants after they leave nurseries. Move them to a less shaded area, reduce the level of nutrition, especially N, leach heavily, then water heavily.Damage by wind is one of the many causes of stunting and off-colours in plants. Wind affects transpiration of leaves, and therefore...		View PDF

Drainage Flowers, Foliage - full or half crown, Fruit size/numbers, Irrigation, Leaf colour, Leaf shape, Mulch, Position, Selection of species, Shape/form, Soil Type, Split a...		View PDF
INDOOR PLANT REQUIREMENTS
The six main plant requirements are Light: The plant must be tolerant of given interior light intensities. Light must be present in sufficient quantities for photosynthesis to occur. Water: The plant must be kept moist at all times. Nutrients: Plants, like other living organisms, will not survive without a food source. Air Supply: Indoor plants m...		View PDF

An indoor plant is a plant that can be brought inside for display for any length of time. Indoor plants usually exhibit desired qualities either in habit, leaf shape, leaf arrangement, leaf colour, flower form, colour or fruit. Many plants fit the description but not all plants are suitable to be used inside. Characteristics for selection of indo...		View PDF
