This is a very general question and nearly impossible to answer without more specific details of the plant.

The water requirements for plants vary widely depending on:

  • Indoor or outdoor location.
  • Type of plant - water requirements for a cactus would be different to those of an orchid.
  • Size of the plant - obviously a large tree will require more water than a small seasonal plant.
  • Season - plants grow at different rates at different times of the year.
  • Aspect - is the plant exposed to sun and wind or protected by other plants or structures.
  • Type of soil - clay soils retain a lot of water, where as sand does not.

Needless to say there are literally millions of variables. Some plants need to be submerged in water, while others can survive for weeks or months without water.

Although with respect to indoor plants, the generally accepted "rule of thumb" is: put your finger into the pot/ container, if it is damp then the plant does not need watering; if dry, water sparingly.

It is best to water indoor plants sparingly, it is easier to see the symptoms of under watering (dull green leaves, leaves that are slightly wrinkled) than over watering which only exhibits after the damage is done.

Water helps the plant's leaves to remain firm. It is also essential for most of the plants biochemical reaction and it stores essential dissolved nutients. So water is vital to plants but do they need a lot of water, it depends on the climate. If it is hot, dry or windy, of course they need a lot of water to survive.

All organisms need plenty of water to survive. All organisms on earth need some form of water, or at least biochemicals with similar traits to water. Water has a neutral pH, making it neither base nor acid. It helps organisms filter their bodies, energize the body, support immune systems, regulate body temperature(not plants), and reproduction. Plants need more because of their cell walls and water is not transported as well and increases its need for it.

Can you plant seeds from an avocado?

Yes, you can plant avacado seeds. There are 2 ways on how you can plant the seed. Either you can immerse the seed in water or you can plant it in the ground. If you plan to grow it in water, get about 3 toothpicks to make holes in the seed's side. Next you can put the seed half submerge in a jar or glass. You need to make sure that the pointy one needs to be upwards and flat one needs to be in water. If planning to plant in the soil, it needs to have good drainage and porous. The temperature needs to be in between 60 to 70 degrees. The soil moisture must be maintained. In these conditions, the leaves will appear in a few weeks.

Was soil good for farming in Colonial New York?

it depends on the situation because if it is rainy the soil will be wet and it needs a plant that fits on that situation if it is sunny the soil will be dry so it needs a lot of water so for me it depends on the one who plant the seed so if he/she knows how to plant and gives all the care needed to the plant it means the plant that the person planted is good.


How many vacuoles does a plant cell usually have?

Plant cells have just one large central vacuole, functioning as a site for the cells' waste. That is why people claim they can 'smell rain'. A law of nature states that high pressure regions always move into low pressure regions. When a low pressure front is over you, the higher pressure of the plant-cell central vacuoles cause the waste contents to move out of the cells and into the atmoshpere.
