Herb Gardening

On maturity of pollen grains , the anther lobes burst open and the pollen grains released in large amonut are carried by wind to several meters away to settle on feathery stigma as in case of plants of grass family.

Usually an insect will get some of the pollen trapped on its body in hairs or whatnot while it's feeding at the flower, and when it moves to another flower (a female one) it can drop the pollen, fertilizing the flower. Pollination is a byproduct of the insect feeding; insects don't set out just to pollinate, but luckily for us, they do so anyway.

Pollination is essential for the reproduction of many plants, including those that produce fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators transfer pollen between flowers, which allows the plants to produce seeds and fruit. This process is crucial for agriculture, biodiversity, and ecosystem health.

The organism that is most well known to help pollinate flowers is the common bee. The bees gather nectar from flowers to make into honey. As they are gathering it, pollen sticks on them; which they then spread to other flowers by simply gathering nectar from them.

If the leafs that turn dark is also soft in the texture, then I'm pretty sure it is because it is placed to cool (maby it has been to close to a window in frost) If that is not the case, then maby you have been giving it to much water.

Plants, including herbs, primarily use blue and red light for photosynthesis. Blue light is important for vegetative growth, while red light promotes flowering and fruiting. A combination of these specific wavelengths, often found in full-spectrum LED grow lights, can support the growth of herbs indoors.

The botanical name for curry leaf is Murraya koenigii.

Hope this helps you.

Plants are best suited to absorb nutrients from water rather than soda or juice. Soda and juice can contain high levels of sugar, artificial additives, and acidity that can harm plant roots and affect their growth. Therefore, it is not recommended to use soda or juice for watering plants.

The Filipino food, patola, is more commonly known as luffa. There are three main species of luffa, Luffa acutangula, Luffa aegyptiaca, and Luffa operculata.

Flowers produce volatile organic compounds, such as terpenes and phenols, responsible for their pleasant scent. These compounds attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, aiding in the plant's reproduction. The specific combination and concentration of these compounds give each flower its unique and pleasant aroma.

Leaves are under continuous attack by insects, viruses, mold, and fungus. Many of these can cause growths.

Many things that look like growths may be cleverly disguised insect eggs, or shape-changing insects in camouflaged cocoons.

Some growths on leaves are caused by chemicals emitted by an insect. This causes the leaf to grow a little lump of leaf cells, making a safe spot to protect the insect's eggs.

Cress seeds typically take 7-10 days to germinate and another 2-3 weeks to reach maturity for harvesting.

No, carbon monoxide (CO) is toxic to plants and can inhibit their growth. Plants require carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis, not carbon monoxide.

Plants that can grow in the winter include winter vegetables like kale, carrots, and radishes, as well as cold-hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Some flowers that bloom in the winter include pansies, snapdragons, and hellebores. Additionally, certain shrubs and trees such as winter jasmine, winterberry, and certain varieties of pine can thrive in the winter months.

Most herbs prefer to be planted in the spring after the last frost date for your region. It's best to plant them when the soil has warmed up and there is no longer a risk of frost. You can also plant herbs in the fall in milder climates.

Generally, plants do grow slower in the winter due to factors like lower light levels, shorter days, and colder temperatures. These conditions can affect their metabolic processes and slow down growth rates. However, some plants, like winter crops or evergreens, are adapted to grow during the winter season.

To propagate rosemary from a branch cutting, select a healthy stem and remove the lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant it in well-draining soil. Keep the cutting consistently moist and in a warm, bright location to encourage root growth.

Competition between cress seeds can lead to reduced access to resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight, which can stunt growth and limit overall plant productivity. Strong competition can also result in increased stress, making plants more susceptible to diseases and pests. Overall, competition can negatively impact the growth and survival of cress plants in crowded environments.

Comfrey prefers partial shade to full sun conditions to grow, but it can tolerate a variety of light levels. It typically thrives in moist, well-drained soil and can be grown in a range of environments.

This plant occurs throughout the countries of Africa. It can be found right from Ethiopia down to South Africa. Horticulturally, it would grow anywhere else that has a climate similar to these areas.

You can reproduce a sage plant by taking a cutting from a healthy, mature plant and rooting it in water or soil. Make sure the cutting has at least 2-3 leaf nodes, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cutting moist and in a warm, bright location until roots develop.

Garlic is in the Alliaceae family, but was formerly classified as Liliaceae. Some botanists believe it should have remained in the old classification.

The roots of the Echinacea plant are commonly used to treat colds and boost the immune system. The roots contain compounds that are believed to have anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating properties.
