When it comes to keeping plants warm this winter, a little preparation can go a long way. Give plants a layer of protection by mulching and watering as needed. Be familiar with the plants in your ...
You love what houseplants do for your interior , but when it comes to caring for them you’re more of a grim...
But in winter, it’s best to repot houseplants indoors because tropical plants can be sensitive to even short periods of cold exposure. If you’re worried about the mess, lay some newspaper over ...
Vernalization (from Latin vernus 'of the spring') is the induction of a plant's flowering process by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter, or by an artificial equivalent. After vernalization, plants have acquired the ability to flower, but they may require additional seasonal cues or weeks of growth before they will actually do so.
The ability to control intercellular ice formation during freezing is critical to the survival of freeze-tolerant plants. [3] If intracellular ice forms, it could be lethal to the plant when adhesion between cellular membranes and walls occur. The process of freezing tolerance through cold acclimation is a two-stage mechanism: [4]
Winter rest (from the German term Winterruhe) is a state of reduced activity of plants and warm-blooded animals living in extratropical regions of the world during the more hostile environmental conditions of winter. In this state, they save energy during cold weather while they have limited access to food sources.
The plants can reach a foot tall and have larger blooms. While some varieties are a bit less cold-hardy than common snowdrops, they’re still cold-tolerant and ready to pop up through the snow in ...
Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants. Plants have both stress-induced and age-related developmental aging. [1] Chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence reveals the carotenoids, such as anthocyanin and xanthophylls, which are the cause of autumn leaf color in deciduous trees. Leaf senescence has the important function of ...
