  1. Nursery Landscape

  2. Plant Life Cycle • Annual • Germination-> Growth=>Flowering=>Death • Perennial • Germination=>Growth=>Flowering=>Dormancy • Will have one or more flowering cycles • Biennial • Germination (season 1)=> Growth=>Dormancy=> Growth (season 2)=>Flowering=>death

  3. Plant Life Cycle • Vegetative phase- when plants germinates and grows producing leaves, stems and roots. • Reproductive phase- When a plant flowers and produces fruit. • Dormancy- part of life cycle when a plant will have a phase of slowed or inactive growth

  4. Photosynthesis • Plants have the ability to produce their own food. • Chlorophyll- green pigment that allows plants to manufacture food • 6CO2 +6H2O => C6H12O6 + 602 • Carbon dioxide+water =(through sunlight) Sugar and Oxygen

  5. Respiration and Transpiration • Respiration- The plants ability to breath in Carbon Dioxide and give off Oxygen • Transpiration- The loss of water to during respiration.

  6. Parts of Plant • Leaves • Stem • Roots

  7. Leaves • The leaf serves as a solar panel for the site of photosynthesis

  8. Stem • Supports the leaves, flowers, and fruits. • It also transportation of water, minerals, and manufactured food throughout the plant. • Pipes that transports nutrients are the Xylem and Phloem • Xylem- (xy high) take water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. • Phloem- (Phlo low) take nutrients from leaves to the roots.

  9. Roots • Absorbs water and nutrients from the soil • Tap root- Grows straight down in search of water and anchoring the plant • Fibrous Root- (grass) plants without a tap root have many roots that grow shallow and near the surface.

  10. Flower • Flowers are the reproductive part of the plants that product the fruit and seeds.

  11. Flower • Complete flower- a flower that has both male and female parts (Pistil and Stamen) • Incomplete flower- Plants that posses on one part. • Perfect flower- flower that poses both parts on the same flower • Imperfect flower- plant that may poses a male flower and a female flower on the same plant.

  12. Plant Propagation • The term used to refer to the reproduction of new plants form seed or vegetative parts of a plant. • Types of propagation • Sexual propagation • Asexual propagation

  13. Sexual propagation • Reproduction of plants through planting seeds.

  14. Asexual propagation • Cutting- detached portions of the plant such as leaves, stems or roots, that from missing parts and turn into completely new plants. • Grafting- the process of connecting two plant parts in a way that they unite and continue to grow as one plant.

  15. Asexual propagation • Layering- growing a plant from a small piece of plant. • Separation- Splitting the plant up into two or more parts and replanting the pieces (potatoes)

  16. Soil • pH- is used to measure the amount of alkalinity or acidity in the soil. • Many chemical reactions take place in soil. Some do better in base or acidic soils. • pH scale 1=>14 1 being most acidic and 14 being very alkaline • Most plants grow best between 5.5-8.0 • Lime is used to raise the pH to make it less acidic

  17. Fertilizers • N-P-K => Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. • Nitrogen- responsible for vegetative growth such as leaves and foliage. • Phosphorous- responsible for flowering and fruiting. • Potassium- essential for photosynthesis and transpiration.

  18. Fertilizers • Amount of each nutrient is represented as a % value. • Ex. 20-10-5 will consist of 20% nitrogen-10% phosphorous, and 5% potassium. • This fertilizer being higher in nitrogen would inhibit flower production.

  19. Fertilizer ratio • 20-10-5 How much of a 50 lb bag would be N, P, K and filler (inactive ingredient) • 10lbs N • 5 lbs P • 2.5 lbs K • 32.5 lbs of filler

  20. Fertilizers • Granular- pellet sized fertilizers that are applied to the soil or mixed in. Some are time released to give off nutrients over an extended period of time. • Liquid- is mixed in with water and applied while irrigating plants (fertigation)

  21. Terms • Herbaceous plants- stems that are soft and not woody (vines and grasses) • Woody Plants- plants that produce wood that survive throughout the winter (shrubs and trees) • Deciduous- plants that loose their leaves in the winter • Evergreen- plants that hold their leaves (pine trees)

  22. Terms • Hardiness- ability to withstand cold temperatures. • Monocots- have one cotyledon (seed leaf) when it emergess from the soil. • Dicots- have two cotyledon (seed leafs) • Sitescaping- landscaping a small part of a large area

  23. Terms • Xeriscaping- landscaping that uses plants that require little water. • Corner planting- plants placed at the coners of houses • Foundation planting- planting along the walls or foundation of a building • Line planting- creates walls of an outdoor room for privacy.
