Key Factors in plant selection
Why It Matters in Plant Selection Determines plant hardiness; some plants can't survive extreme heat or cold Affects water availability; drought-tolerant or moisture- loving plants needed Some plants prefer dry climates, while others thrive in high humidity Influences photosynthesis; some plants need full sun, others get scorched Strong winds can damage plants; windbreaks or hardy species may be required or open plant habit Sensitive tropical or subtropical plants may get damaged by frost Affects temperature, air pressure, and UV exposure; impacts plant adaptation Affects seed germination, root growth, and nutrient uptake Determines what crops/flowers can be grown and when or requirement for winter hardiness plants. Allows for tailored plant choices in different parts of the same landscape
