Petiole is a mobile-based precision agriculture recommendation system. It is a tool for measuring plant leaf area. It uses leaf area measurements to monitor dynamics of plant growth and to understand how plants respond to various factors (weather, growth promoters etc). It's like a smart tracker for plant growth

Like humans, plants burn sugar as an energy source In fact, the purpose of plant leaves is to make sugar for plant growth and collect sunlight. Therefore it may be reasonable to think adding sugar to the water used for plant watering helps to promote their growth. But remember, gardening is not without the influence of urban legend between science and myth. In any case, determining whether sugars added to plant water affect its growth requires careful consideration.

You may think that there is the only way to grow new plants. By planting seeds on the ground. However, there are actually two ways to propagate (to grow) plants. Seed method (sexual) and asexual reproduction method (asexual). Growth of new plants from seeds or existing plant parts is called plant multiplication. Since the resulting plants contain genetic material from two parent plants, the plant seed propagation method is called sexual reproduction. On the other hand, vegetative propagation is carried out using nutritional parts of plants, for example stems, roots or leaves.

Planting seeds to nurture new plants is called sexual reproduction. New plants also derive from asexual reproduction - stem, root and leaf cutting, stratification and division into smaller plants of mature plants. Commercially, growers often use sterile methods such as tissue culture to propagate plants at the cellular level. The easiest way for family gardeners to grow plants without using seeds is to cut out stems and leaves, cut them apart, and layer them. Logging of cork and hardwood stalks is a common way to grow shrubs and perennial plants. Take 3-5 inch stem or young branch and remove the lower leaves until only 4 remains, cut 1/2 inch incision and upper flower buds, insert the lower third into growth medium To do. Influenza often uses the same amount of peat moss root insert, a mixture of sand and perlite. Cover pots and containers with plastic bag to keep moisture, please do not close the bag
