What a plant needs to grow?

The components needed for the intial germination of a seed are simply water, oxygen and lack of light (hence soil is ideal). However once the seed has germinated and is established asa seedling or plant then its requirements for sustained life change. In order for a plant to survive it needs to fulfil the requirements of photosynthesis, that is sunlight+CO2+water=oxygen+sugar Therefore a plant requires direct sunlight, sufficient water and presence of Carbon Dioxide to survive.


What is an ovary in a plant?

Its something to do with pollen going down the style into the ovary to be germinated. It is also a place where the egg or the ovule devolops.


What is the advantage of planting using seedbox?

Not every seed will germinate. Sowing lots of seeds in a seedbox is quicker than planting a single or a small number of seeds in small individual plant pots; especially if the seeds are extremely tiny. Once the seeds have germinated, any healthy and robustly growing seedlings can be pricked out and potted on into individual plant pots.


What plants have to start photosynthesis?

By definition, all plants have to use photosynthesis. This begins once light reaches the plant.

How do they grow where do they grow?

== == All seeds need oxygen and water to germinate, and the temperature will need to be within a set range that differs for each type of seed. Once the seed has germinated, the plant will need nutrients, moisture, and light and a suitable temperature range. seeds grow inside fruits like apples, some Oranges, on the outside of strawberries, just look inside fruits. how they grow is either some part of the fruit/vegetable plant fell off, or an animal ate it, pooped the seeds on the ground and they grew out of the dung.


How do you begin a plant to climb up a trellis?

The vine of the plant starts to get long, once it is long enough to reach up the trellis netting, weave it between a couple of the openings.

Do daffodils need sunlight once picked from the ground?

No. Sunlight is necessary to provide the light energy to make the food (sugar) which nourishes the plant tissues and is stored in the bulb. When you pick the flower, it will utilized the energy left in the stem to support the flower, but the entire time you keep the stem in a vase, the tissue is deteriorating, which is noticable after a couple of days. The daffodil is not one of those plants that will produce roots from a cut stem, so once cut, that is the end of that part of the plant and there is not need for sunlight.


How does light affect a plants growth?

Light does not affect germination until the seed has sprouted through the soil. Once the seeds has sprouted, the plant may need lots of light, while others are hindered by light depending on the species of the plant..
