Answer 20

…..

Question 21

We need to plants to live. Do plants “need” any other living organisms?

Answer 21

well, they need water, soil, air, space and sunlight. they will get their nutrients by soaking it up with the roots
What plants need to survive…… They need sunlight, If you put in the shade then it will grow out to one side or the other. lets just say they won’t grow strait. They also need water to drink or else they will die. [like us] Then they need a good place to live. make sure that no bugs get to your plant and kill the plant.One thing that will help you is to turn the pot about every two weeks.
