### plant:

Landscape plant
* Most landscape plants benefit from having organic matter worked into the root-zone area
  - require fertilization no more than two or three times each year
* Some landscape plants produce fruit.
* are accustomed to the cold and snow
  - the heart of all gardens and landscapes
* can also be very toxic.
* go dormant.
* require light to moderate watering.

### plant:

Large plant
* Most large plants restrain cattle in a conveyor restrainer system
  - use cardiac arrest head to back or head to side of body stunning
* are easier to move if kept on platforms with casters
  - more susceptible to high summer temperatures
* become heavily infested before the insect is noticed.
* can easily weigh more than it is safe for one person to lift.
* develop a short trunk- like crown.
* have small fleshy green leaves.
* require equally large containers to prevent stunting of root and shoot growth.
* tend to dry out the soil.

Larger plant
* are better able to tolerate defoliation than smaller plants.
* can withstand higher populations but show reduced growth and yellowing.
* compete with smaller emerging plants.
* consume more water than seedlings.
* have greater access to shared resources, therefore they get bigger faster
  - two or three big main roots that spread far
* produce energy more cheaply than smaller plants, neither with ongoing costs for fuels
  - seeds within a few weeks

Leafy plant
* Most leafy plants grow in areas
  - moist areas
* Most leafy plants grow on floors
  - forest floors
* can be red, green, or brown in color.
* include spinach.
* vary in length.

Leggy plant
* indicate poor light.
* needs to grow bushier, keep more compact form.

Lettuce plant
* attain height.
* enter cotyledon stages
* have bottoms
  - flowers
  - perfect flowers

### plant:

Live plant
* Includes cuttings, roots, bulbs, corns, rhizomes and stems.
* More live plants means more dead plants later on.
* can be difficult to keep alive indoors, so it's usually best to go with plastic foliage.
* help increase and maintain humidity
  - maintain humidity and provide cover
  - to breakdown pollutants in the tank such as nitrates
* represent growth, which helps balance out the negative effects of the fireplace.
* require the proper lighting to thrive.
* thrive in a bathroom that has light.

Low plant
* allow animals access to the water.
* can even grow up between the openings.

Lower plant
* Many lower plants have the power of building up pro- toplasm without chlorophyll and sunlight.
* provide homes and protection for many invertebrates and fish.
* serve many important purposes.

Madagascar periwinkle
* Most madagascar periwinkles have flowers.
* contains a virtual cornucopia of toxic and useful alkaloids.
* is an annual in north Florida and a perennial in south Florida.

### plant:

Male plant
* are distinguished by their long flower stalks bearing many flowers
  - long and open, their flowers have stamens
  - preferred as ornamentals
  - ready to harvest for fiber when the leaves change from dark green to light brown
* bear cones that are about two feet long and five inches in diameter.
* begin shedding leaves shortly after flowering, shied their pollen and die.
* give much higher yields, are less susceptible to disease, and are longer lived.
* have best flowers
  - larger catkins than the females
  - no commercial value, but are used to pollinate females
* lack papillae but are generally rare.
* produce a larger number of spears, earlier in spring, but they often are thin
  - egg-shaped cones that are usually yellow to brown in color
  - more spears but female plants produce larger ones
  - pinkish flowers in spring
* yield more asparagus with no seeds produced while in the fern stage of growth.

Mangrove plant
* develop roots.
* produce seeds.
* to survive in conditions.
