Explore What is Needed To Grow a Healthy Plant

Do you know what plants need to grow? The most important things are:

Water

Plants need different amounts of water. Some need more than others. For example, cacti don't need very much.

Light

Plants use sunlight to make themselves energy. Leaves soak up sunlight to be able to do this.

But remember, that seeds and bulbs have their own store of energy, so light isn't needed until the plant begins to grow shoots.

Warmth

Plants need different temperatures to survive and grow healthily. No plants can survive in freezing temperatures.

Let's have a go at looking at different plants and thinking about what they need to grow and stay healthy.
