Knowing how a plant grows will give you a better understanding on how to care for plants in your garden.
With some basic knowledge you can grow a garden that will thrive and produce a high yielding crop every time.
To start out a plant is made up of leaves, stems, flowers and seed.
Seed can be in a few different forms like, tubers, spores or the commonly know seed from a flower.
They all have the same purpose in life of reproduction.
Once the seed is planted it germinates and forms a seedling.
This seedling is where all life for a plant begins.
During the process of germination there is no nutrition needed, but once it turns to a seedling is when nutrition is a very important part of it's life.
At the stage of a plants life when it becomes a seedling a root system will develop.
The root system is the food storage and distribution center for the water and nutrients from the soil that a plant needs to survive.
It is also it's footing, it anchors the plant to the ground.
The stem is another structural part.
It needs to be healthy and strong to hold the weight of the branches and the fruit it produces.
Stems along with branches are also the arteries that the food and water travel through a plant.
Leaves can be looked at as a kitchen.
It is where the food is made during the process of photosynthesis.
This is the process where plants take carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to make there food.
Flowers are the reproduction system of a plant.
Now that you know the different parts of a plant and there purpose there are things you should know about the environment and plants.
Not all plants like the same conditions.
Some like more water than others and some like more sun than others.
Knowing your plant requirements before planting is very important including the type of soil they like and the nutrients they need.
