Plants have three basic requirements to grow: sunlight, air and water. Wherever all these three requirements are fulfilled you will find plants growing there. In case, any of these prerequisites are not fully available, the plants show an amazing ability to adapt. They can adapt to any new environment in a very short period of time. Some plants possess amazing charateristics as a result of this adaptability eg. the pitcher plant (Nepenthes distillatoria). We came across plants in almost all regions of the earth, ie. in water, grasslands, deserts, tropical as well temperate regions. Plants are even seen growing in Taiga and Tundra regions. Only places where plants have not been observed are the extreme cold areas of Arctic and Antarctic regions. This is probably because these areas are permanently frozen and the plants are unable to get water in liquid form. References Plant adaptations http://www.mbgnet.net/bioplants/adapt.html

Can plants grow in any environment?

No. They must have carbon dioxide (CO2) to be able to respire and therefore make food for itself. If it does not have this then it simply cannot grow and will die. Generally speaking, a plant needs soil as well because it contains vital nutrients such as magnesium to keep healthy. Some plants however can grow in very hostile conditions, such as geraniums. Scientists have got evidence that it would be able to grow in lunar soil on the moon!! Hope that helps, SAM


What will happens if there is no soil on earth?

Without soil, plants would struggle to grow as they rely on soil for nutrients, water, and support. This would disrupt the entire food chain, leading to a loss of biodiversity and impacting animals that rely on plants for food and habitat. Additionally, soil plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and supporting ecosystems, so its absence would have far-reaching consequences for the environment.

What else might you find in a greenhouse?

Pretty much any plant you want, within reason. Inside a greenhouse, you can produce growing conditions that would be favorable to most any plant you choose. You simply need to decide what you wish to grow, discover its growing requirements, and apply whatever technologies are necessary, if any. (heating, lighting, watering, and humidifying technologies are readily available for greenhouse growing). Some people like to grow roses and flowers, others prefer to grow herbs, still others prefer to grow vegetables. In some instances, you could also grow any combination of those, and more.
