  2. Houseplant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houseplant

    Houseplants are typically grown in specialized soilless mixtures called potting compost (in the UK), potting mix, or potting soil. [6] Most potting mixes contain a combination of peat or coir and vermiculite or perlite. Keeping plants consistently too wet ("overwatering") leads to the roots sitting in water, which often leads to root rot. Root ...

  3. Nitrogen deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_deficiency

    Nitrogen deficiency is a deficiency of nitrogen in plants. This can occur when organic matter with high carbon content, such as sawdust, is added to soil. [1] Soil organisms use any nitrogen available to break down carbon sources, making nitrogen unavailable to plants. [1] This is known as "robbing" the soil of nitrogen.

  4. Potting soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potting_soil

    A soil test may be done to analyze the chemistry of a potting mix, despite the mix not necessarily being made of soil. As an approximation for indoor home planting, the mix is generally treated as greenhouse growth medium. The main method is a saturated media extract (SME), which tests the chemical contents of a water extract of the mix.

  5. Calcium deficiency (plant disorder) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_deficiency_(plant...

    Plants are susceptible to such localized calcium deficiencies in low or non-transpiring tissues because calcium is not transported in the phloem. [1] This may be due to water shortages, which slow the transportation of calcium to the plant, poor uptake of calcium through the stem, [2] or too much nitrogen in the soil. [3]

  6. Plant tissue culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_tissue_culture

    The composition of the medium, particularly the plant hormones and the nitrogen source (nitrate versus ammonium salts or amino acids) have profound effects on the morphology of the tissues that grow from the initial explant. For example, an excess of auxin will often result in a proliferation of roots, while an excess of cytokinin may yield shoots.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuse_of_human_excreta

    SOIL's two composting waste treatment facilities currently transform over 20,000 gallons (75,708 liters) of human excreta into organic, agricultural-grade compost every month. [67] The compost produced at these facilities is sold to farmers, organizations, businesses, and institutions around the country to help finance SOIL's waste treatment ...
