Some plants will but most don't. ( like an apple tree makes apples then they fall but the tree doesn't die. )

Sims 3 How do you grow plants?

You have to plant seeds. at first they can only plant a few, like lettuce seeds. as they gain skill looking after them they can plant different types of seeds. the seeds can be found on the ground or there should be some in your inventory. You will have to make sure you keep tending the plants or they will die.

Why does a plants produce so many seeds?

Because not all of them find conditions that are suitable for germination. After germination a number will die or be eaten by pests, killed or damaged mechanically, die because of drought, frost etc. The more seeds the greater chance for the survival of a few plants.


Does seeds take in water and nutrients from the soil?

yes, they would die without either of them. Practically all plants and seeds need water and soil.


Does a flowering plant have to die to produce seeds?

No, many seed producing flowering plants live many years, others however are annual and do produce flowers, seeds and die in one season.


Why do most plants produced many more seeds than will ever become adult plants?

It is a numbers game. Most plants produce more seeds than are likely to become adult plants BECAUSE so many seeds fail to grow to adulthood. If they did not overproduce, the species would die out. In fact, one way to measure the "effectiveness" of a plant's seeds is to look at how many it produces. Plants that produce the most seeds in comparison with the seed survival rate are those that have ineffective seeds. Plants that produce fewer seeds generally have more effective ways of ensuring that the seed survives to produce the next generation of plants. Some of the ways that plants use to increase the effectiveness of their seeds are by protecting them with shells (so that they are resistant to the weather), making them larger (so that they have a lot of stored food to give them a good start), making them taste good to birds (so they will be eaten and deposited along with fertilizer).


Are all the plants the same?

no.There are many types of plants and many ways to distinguish plants of one type from another.There are trees, bushes, flowering plants, succulents and cacti, and just plain vegetation.There are evergreen trees that rarely lose leaves and deciduous trees that lose their leaves as the seasons change and grow new leaves.Some evergreen trees have needle like leaves, most trees have wide leaves of varying shape by which the tree is identified.Most leaves are various shades of green, some plants have purple leaves.Almost all plants have flowers which eventually make seeds. Flowers come in all different sizes, shapes, and colors. Most flowers have an odor considered pleasant. Flowers have a sexual identification. Some are male, some are female, some are both.Flowers need to be fertilized to make seeds that become new plants. It is called pollination. This is done by bees, birds, or other insects or animals. They are usually attracted to the flower by its shape, color or smell. They brush against the flowers rubbing off some pollen from an organ in the middle of a flower and put it into the middle of another suitable flower. That starts the seed making.There are various shapes of seeds, We see many seeds as pits in fruit.Some plants require dry weather and will die if exposed to too much water and other plants require constant moisture in the ground or air to flourish.Most plants grow in soil. Some grow in water. Some are epiphytes, which grow anchored to trees or shrubs but get their nourishment from the air and water. Some are lithophytes which grow on rocks or very rocky soil.There are Non-deterministic plants that grow, make flowers and seeds, drop the seeds to propagate and repeat again making flowers and seeds and continue growing. There are deterministic plants that grow, have flowers, seeds, drop the seeds to propagate and die.
