How Plants Grow

             Photosynthesis is the process plants use to make their own food.
             In order for a plant to grow, it needs several things. It required
             Water, sunlight and nutrients. The nutrients plants need for a good
             Health are typically divided into three groups; macronutrients,
             secondary nutrients, and micronutrients. The chief plant nutrients
             are, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and
             potassium. The three major nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus,
             And potassium. These are the elements that must most often be
             added to garden soil if plants are to grow healthy. Nitrogen is
             required in large quantities for the synthesis of proteins,
             chlorophyll, and enzymes. The more rapidly and actively a plant is
             growing, the more nitrogen it needs.
             Good soil is also very important. It has many vitamins and
             minerals that make a plant grow faster. Soil is good for plants. It
             makes the leaves greener and the plant better. It contains sand,
             small rocks, air, water and earthworms.
             Fertilizer is also a good source for plants. It makes a plant
             grow faster, be greener and be a lot healthier. It's very similar to
             soil but not exactly the same. The difference is the thing it's made
             of and that soil has more things added. Regardless of what type of
             fertilizer you buy, it will come with information about the nutrients
             it contains. Prominently featured will be the N-P-K ratio, the
             percentage the product contains by volume of nitrogen (chemical
             symbol N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). A 16-16-16
             fertilizer, for example, contains 16% nitrogen, 16% phosphorus,
             Water is very important to a plant. It has minerals and it
             makes the plant grow. Water helps keep the plant healthy and
