Every plant goes through a cycle, from non-flowering ferns and mosses through flowering plants with pollination, fertilization and seed production. Each tree starts life as a seed packed full of everything it needs to germinate into an adult plant and flourish in its environment. Once germinated, these seeds can then be dispersed via various means […]

Plants possess an extraordinary capacity to disseminate their seeds across long distances using water, wind or animals as vehicles for this process. When the seeds reach an area with appropriate conditions for them to germinate they will take root and form new stems and roots. At this stage, plants utilize sunlight, carbon dioxide and water
The Seeds – An Overview of the Plants Life Cycle Read More »
Flowers are beautiful, fragrant, and draw pollinators insects to pollinate them, serving also to disseminate seeds across their environment. Pollen grains that land on the stigmas of other flowers of the same species germinate to form a tube that descends through style and into ovary where male reproductive cells, known as gametes, unite with female

Plants follow similar stages to humans: beginning as seeds and maturing into adults. Each seed encases a miniature plant inside. To germinate successfully, this miniaturised ecosystem requires water, warmth and oxygen for proper growth; once germinated it develops into a seedling before eventually becoming an adult plant. Seeds At the core of any plant’s lifecycle

Flowers don’t just add beauty; they play an integral part of a plant’s life cycle! Flower petals act as pollen carriers to spread pollen grains onto nearby flowers where it fertilizes their ovules, helping plants reproduce. Seeds require water, oxygen, and warmth in order to germinate successfully. Once they’ve begun sprouting they form hard outer

Germination (break-open of seeds) requires oxygen, water and temperature conditions that meet specific parameters for them to germinate (become open). This process is known as germination. Seedlings form roots and leaves to gather water, nutrients and sunlight for photosynthesis to produce food for themselves – this process helps them grow into mature plants which blossom

Seeds contain an embryo, food and protective coating. To enable their success in taking root as new plants in different conditions arises, seeds need to be dispersed across the land so they can grow as plants when conditions allow it. Many flowering plants feature colourful petals to attract insects and help pollinate them, with pollen

Plants, like people, undergo their own life cycle. Beginning as seeds containing everything needed for them to blossom into full-grown plants, the seeds are dispersed across the land by water, air or animals (except ferns and bryophytes ). When seeds reach soil with sufficient essential elements they undergo germination and begin growing into fully formed

Flowers play an essential part in our ecosystem. Not only are they beautiful, attracting pollinators and providing food to animals; but flowers also filter toxins out, recycle carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, and generate oxygen through photosynthesis. All plants go through an annual cycle of growth, flowering and producing seeds. Seedlings produce flowers which
