Image: Green wall experimental design used for Expt. 1. The six blocks of treatments with the three spiderwort selections of zebra plant, ‘Burgundy’ zebra plant, and inch plant are denoted with red squares, placement of light/temperature sensors (one per block) are shown with magenta circles, sentinel pots used to determine need for irrigation are shown with blue triangles (eight dispersed throughout the green wall), and average light levels (µmol·m−2·s−1) per block are reported in white boxes. Average light levels were determined by averaging the light reading at each pot location in each block. Credit: American Society for Horticultural Science

Treating Potted Zebra Plant and Inch Plant Used in Interior Green Wall to Regulate Stem Elongation

Maintaining the health of green walls poses challenges, often requiring costly professional care due to plant elongation in low-light environments. Recent research explored using antigibberellin plant growth regulators to combat this issue. Application of PGRs resulted in compact growth, potentially…

Botanists analyze the role of pollinators in the evolution of flowers with various sexual forms

Botanists explore Darwin's theory on precise pollination in flowering plants. Their study reveals correlations between heterostyly, floral traits, and pollinators, supporting Darwin's hypothesis. This macroevolutionary analysis sheds new light on the role of ecology in plant reproductive mechanisms.
