Plants Need Soil, Water, and Temperature

Plants Need Soil

• Plants require soil to grow.
• Soil contains various nutrients essential for plant growth.
• Different plants possess varying nutrient requirements.
• Fertilizers can be added to soil to supplement plant nutrients.
• Insufficient nutrients weaken plants and can lead to death.

Plants Need Water

• Plants require water for survival and growth.
• Different plant species necessitate varying water amounts.
• Cacti are adapted to extended dry periods, storing water and possessing spines for protection.
• Seeds need water to germinate.
• Insufficient water causes wilting (drooping).
• Rehydration allows wilted plants to recover.
• Prolonged dehydration leads to plant death.

Plants Need the Right Temperature

• Plants require specific temperatures for growth.
• Some plants thrive in extreme cold or heat.
• Seeds require a particular temperature range for germination, often occurring in spring's warmer temperatures.
• Plants create their food but optimal temperatures are crucial for this process.
