What are The two main classes of angiosperms?
Shoot, that's simple. Monocots and dicots (or monocotyledons and dicotyledons if you want to get serious). There are many differences, but the vascular tissue is the most apparent difference. Dicots have much more organized and specialized vascular tissue when compared to monocots. An example of a monocot would be grass, corn, or a Lilly. An example of a dicot would be an elm tree, or a rose bush. Message me if you would like to know more.
Similarities between monocots and dicots?
Monocotyledons have one seed leaf and Dicotyledons have two seed leaves. If you think of how most seeds grow with two little starter leaves, they are dicots, as opposed to grass for instance, which only has one little leaf at the start.

What is the example of layering plants?
See the article in Wikipedia on "layering". The term 'soil layering' is sometimes used to distinguish this outdoor layering technique from 'air layering' which is more usually done on indoor plants, although it may be done on outdoor plants such as Magnolia which are difficult to root by cuttings and usually do not have branches that can be brought down to the ground for 'soil layering'.
What plant reproduce by leaf?
Plants that reproduce by leaves are BEGONIA, BRYPHYLLUM and other more.
Is nymphaea Alba a conifer monocot or dicot?
Nymphaeaceae has been investigated systematically for decades because of the belief that they represent one of the earliest groups ofangiosperms. Its position has been somewhat doubtful as the anatomy of these plants is more close to that of monocotyledons, while the venation of the leaves would indicate that they are dicotyledons.

How expensive are concrete cuttings?
Concrete cuttings can vary in price. The price for concrete cuttings ranges from $600 to $4,500, and possibly more. These can be bought from Baily's Online and Neobits.

Why palisade cell are arranged vertically?
The goal of the leaf is to allow maximum light to enter to the chloroplast-rich palisade layer. If the palisade cells were arranged horizontally, there would be more cell walls that the light has to diffuse through
How would you recognize a hardwood tree?
Hardwoods tend to be broadleafed and deciduous trees. To be more exact hardwood trees are both dicotyledons and angiosperms.
How do dahlia reproduce?
Dahlia flowers will create seeds. You can also split the tubers or create more dahlias from cuttings.

Can you grow roots from a a leaf or a branch of a tree If YES What if the preferred method to do this Root Growth Hormone in water...in dirt.. or other?
Procedures for Rooting Stem Cuttings source - http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/hil-8702.html Cuttings should generally consist of the current or past season's growth. Avoid material with flower buds if possible. Remove any flowers and flower buds when preparing cuttings so the cutting's energy can be used in producing new roots rather than flowers. Take cuttings from healthy, disease-free plants, preferably from the upper part of the plant. The fertility status of the stock (parent) plant can influence rooting. Avoid taking cuttings from plants that show symptoms of mineral nutrient deficiency. Conversely, plants that have been fertilized heavily, particularly with nitrogen, may not root well. The stock plant should not be under moisture stress. In general, cuttings taken from young plants root in higher percentages than cuttings taken from older, more mature plants. Cuttings from lateral shoots often root better than cuttings from terminal shoots. Early morning is the best time to take cuttings, because the plant is fully turgid. It is important to keep the cuttings cool and moist until they are stuck. An ice chest or dark plastic bag with wet paper towels may be used to store cuttings. If there will be a delay in sticking cuttings, store them in a plastic bag in a refrigerator. While terminal parts of the stem are best, a long shoot can be divided into several cuttings. Cuttings are generally 4 to 6 inches long. Use a sharp, thin-bladed pocket knife or sharp pruning shears. If necessary, dip the cutting tool in rubbing alcohol or a mixture of 1 part bleach to 9 parts water to prevent transmitting diseases from infected plant parts to healthy ones. Remove the leaves from the lower one-third to one-half of the cutting (Figure 4). On large-leafed plants, the remaining leaves may be cut in half to reduce water loss and conserve space. Species difficult to root should be wounded. Figure 4. Treating cuttings with root-promoting compounds can be a valuable tool in stimulating rooting of some plants that might otherwise be difficult to root. Prevent possible contamination of the entire supply of rooting hormone by putting some in a separate container before treating cuttings. Any material that remains after treatment should be discarded and not returned to the original container. Be sure to tap the cuttings to remove excess hormone when using a powder formulation. The rooting medium should be sterile, low in fertility, and well-drained to provide sufficient aeration. It should also retain enough moisture so that watering does not have to be done too frequently. Materials commonly used are coarse sand, a mixture of one part peat and one part perlite (by volume), or one part peat and one part sand (by volume). Vermiculite by itself is not recommended, because it compacts and tends to hold too much moisture. Media should be watered while being used. Insert the cuttings one-third to one-half their length into the medium. Maintain the vertical orientation of the stem (do not insert the cuttings upside down). Make sure the buds are pointed up. Space cuttings just far enough apart to allow all leaves to receive sunlight. Water again after inserting the cuttings if the containers or frames are 3 or more inches in depth. Cover the cuttings with plastic and place in indirect light. Avoid direct sun. Keep the medium moist until the cuttings have rooted. Rooting will be improved if the cuttings are misted on a regular basis. Rooting time varies with the type of cutting, the species being rooted, and environmental conditions. Conifers require more time than broadleaf plants. Late fall or early winter is a good time to root conifers. Once rooted, they may be left in the rooting structure until spring. Newly rooted cuttings should not be transplanted directly into the landscape. Instead, transplant them into containers or into a bed. Growing them to a larger size before transplanting to a permanent location will increase the chances for survival.

Can you consider coconut tree as a tree?
Absolutely. It is in the Plantae kingdom. We usually break this down to the gymnosperms (softwoods) and the angiosperms (hardwood). The hardwood family is broken down into the dicotyledons and the monocotyledons. All this means is that when the plant's seed is forming its embryo. if it has only one embryonic leaf then it is a monocot. If it begins with two leafs then it is a dicot. An example of a dicot would be an Oak, Maple, Beech, or any of the other thousands of species we commonly recognize as trees.The "Coconut Tree" that you are referring to is a monocotand is in the Palm Family (Arecaceae) Its botanical or scientific name is Cocos nucifera. It is more commonly called a Coconut Palm.
What is the decreasing comparative of difficult?
more difficult, most difficult
