Plant Growth in Controlled Conditions
Effect of Light, Water, and Nutrients on Plant Growth
Observe how different environmental conditions affect plant growth. Adjust light, water, and nutrient levels to see their impact on plant development.
Normal Conditions
Conditions: ⚖️ Balanced
Observation:
Under optimal conditions, plants grow well with healthy stems, leaves, and flowers.
The Science Behind Plant Growth
Key Factors:
Plant growth depends on several key environmental factors:
- Light: Essential for photosynthesis, which provides energy for growth
- Water: Needed for nutrient transport, photosynthesis, and maintaining cell structure
- Nutrients: Elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are vital for plant functions
Effects of Deficiencies:
When any factor is limited, plants show specific symptoms:
- Low light: Leggy growth, small leaves
- Low water: Wilting, stunted growth
- Low nutrients: Discoloration, poor development
