TLE 5 Gardening Week 4

Hello and welcome to our 4th week in TLE!

Let us learn about the life cycle of plants!

How do they grow?

1. Sprout

• seeds contain all the nutrients they need to GERMINATE and grow their first pair of leaves

• GERMINATE- to sprout or develop

2. Seedling

As roots begin to develop and spread, plants need a boost of quickly absorbed, well-balanced nutrients

3. Budding

Full-grown plants need extra phosphorus during the transition to blooming stage.

4. Flowering

Potassium is essential for the development of healthy flowers and fruit.

5. Ripening

As flowers or fruit reach maturity, the plants no longer need nutrients -- just water.
