Abdul in the Garden
Simulating Plant Growth and Care Conditions
Help Abdul grow his garden! Select a **seed**, plant it in a pot, and manage its **Watering** and **Sunlight** conditions to ensure healthy growth.
How to Use This Demo
- Select a **Seed** type (e.g., Tomato) from the options below.
- Click "**Plant Seed**" to start a new plant in a spot.
- Select a **Condition Action** (Water, Sun, Fertilize) and click "**Apply Condition**".
- Click "**Next Day**" to advance the growth cycle.
- Observe the **Growth Status** bar to see if the plant is thriving.
- Use "**Reset Garden**" to clear all plants and restart the simulation.
Plants: 0/3 | Day: 0 | Garden Status: Ready
Observation:
The garden is ready! Select a **seed** (e.g., Tomato) and click "**Plant Seed**" to start the growth simulation.
The Science of Photosynthesis and Plant Care
Key Conditions for Growth:
**Photosynthesis** is the process where plants convert sunlight and water into energy (food). Proper care involves balancing these basic inputs:
| Condition | Role in Growth | Impact of Deficiency |
|---|---|---|
| **Water** (H₂O) | Essential for photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and cell structure. | Wilting, nutrient lockout, and slow growth. |
| **Sunlight** | Energy source for photosynthesis. | Etiolation (pale, stretched growth) and weak stems. |
| **Nutrients** | Minerals (N-P-K) for building proteins and tissues. | Yellowing leaves (chlorosis) and poor flowering/fruiting. |
Growth Cycle:
Plants typically follow stages: **Seed/Germination** -> **Seedling** -> **Vegetative Growth** (Leaves and Stems) -> **Reproductive Stage** (Flowers and Fruit). Each stage requires slightly different levels of light and nutrients.
