A plant layout could be one of two things ... 1. The layout of plants, greenery or any such other used in landscaping. It is the arrangement of where you would like your plants to be planted and grow. 2. The layout or blueprint of a building aka warehouse aka plant.
Where a workspace is poorly designed or laid out, cluttered or otherwise inconvenient, workers must perform additional tasks or travel additional distances in order to do their jobs. This means wasted time and effort, which detracts from productivity. A well-designed plant with a good layout allows workers to perform tasks efficiently and with a minimum of extraneous effort.

The three main types of plant layout are process layout, product layout, and cellular layout. Process layout groups machines or equipment based on their function or process, product layout arranges equipment in a line according to the sequence of operations, and cellular layout arranges workstations in a U-shape to facilitate a small group of workers producing a similar product.
Water, sunlight and soil nutrients (especially nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but others as well) are the main factors affecting the growth of a plant. Other factors are bacterial and fungal infections, and insect and other animal interference.
