Once You Prop
This is the general term for creating new plants from a mother plant.
What is propagation?
This term refers to a plant’s growth or turning movement in response to an environmental stimulus.
What is a tropism?
This tiny object contains an embryonic plant and a food supply protected by a coat.
What is a seed?
This specialized plant tissue is a group of flexible cells - the builders - whose job is to divide and grow new plant parts.
What is a meristem?
SWF hoop houses are organized into this many rows and this many bays.
What is 6?
List the three main types of plant propagation at The Common|Wealth.
What are cutting, seeding, and division?
Phototropism reacts to light, Gravitropism to gravity, and Thigmotropism to this.
What is touch?
Under the right conditions, this process will begin, causing a seed to sprout and begin growing into a seedling.
What is germination?
Of the two main types of growth patterns, this growth pattern means that there is NO prefixed body size determined by genes.
What is indeterminate?
To assess our plants, we check 5 "Winter Conditionals." Name 3.
What are Weather, Temp, Humidity, Hoop Status, and Recent Activity?
To perform this propagation method, you snip a piece of a parent plant and place it in water or soil to develop its own roots.
What is propagation by cutting?
Tropisms can be either positive or negative. When a plant’s roots grow downward into the soil, this is an example of this type of geotropism.
What is positive?
Unlike a single bean, "seeds" from these two SWF crops are actually dried fruit clusters containing 2 to 6 individual embryos.
What are beets and chard?
This phenomenon occurs when a plant's main central stem grows more strongly than the side branches.
What is apical dominance?
Using the law of averages, if we seed 2-3 seeds per cell, approximately this number plants will grow in a single cube tray.
What is 150?
This specific hormone signals a cutting to stop making stem cells and start making roots.
What is auxin?
Rather than using cell division to create new cells, plants "turn" in response to environmental stimuli by using this process to stretch existing cells.
What is cell elongation?
Name the three main parts of a seedling that emerge during germination.
What are the radicles (root), the hypocotyl (stem), and the cotyledon (leaf).
These are the two main types of meristems: one handles "up and down" growth, the other handles "girth."
What are apical and lateral meristems?
For production, we seed into flat trays. When these trays are potted up, a flat tray typically yields this many trays of potted-up seedlings.
What is 3?
