Plant fact: Does every plant make their own food?
No.Not every plant make their own food.Some 'plants' are really not plants-mushroom and toadstools.Actually,only green plants make their own food.
Mushrooms and toadstools have no chlorophyll.So, they can't make their own food.Mushrooms and toadstools can only make their food from rotting plants-fallen leaves and twigs.

Today,I will discuss an easy question on my blog.
What do plants need in order to grow?
Sun -The sun provides warmth and energy for plants to survive.
Plants use the sun’s energy to makes their own food energy in
their leaves. Not enough sun will slow down a plant’s growth and
even kill it. Too much sun can be a problem too, if the plant and soil are drying
out too quickly.
Soil-Soil provides a base which the roots hold on to as a plant grows bigger. It also
provides plants with water and the nutrients they need to be healthy. In turn,
some plants become healthy food for us.
Nutrients in the soil also help plants grow strong. Some nutrients that plants
need are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.
It is important for soil to be loose and not packed down. If the soil in a field is
packed down (also known as being compacted), farmers plow it up before they plant their seeds.Compacted soil makes it harder for plant roots to spread out. This limits their
access to soil nutrients and weakens the plant’s hold in the ground. The more
room roots have, the more soil the plant can hold in place so it doesn’t wash
away during a rain storm.
Air-Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air to use in
the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS (光合作用)(making their own
food energy) and give off oxygen which we use.
Pollution in the air, from machines, fires, and other
sources, can block sunlight from plants. Harmful
chemicals in pollution can be bad for plant growth too.
Water-Water helps the plant move nutrients from the soil up
through its stems and leaves. Water keeps the plant moist, flexible, and helps
the plant make its own food.
When growing your own plants, pay attention to how often it rains and how long
the ground takes to soak up the water. If it hasn’t rained in a while and the
soil feels dry, you may need to water your plants. You can do this with a hose, a
sprinkler, or a watering can.
However, there is such a thing as over-watering your plants. A plant’s roots not
only need room to spread out in the soil, they also need air! If the ground is
OVER SATURATED, it has too much water and not enough air. Some plants can
die if the water is not drained away soon enough.
Photosynthesis
What do plants need to go through photosynthesis?
- carbon dioxide
-oxygen
- water
-light energy
What does plants make during photosynthesis?
Plant make a sugar called glucose.The glucose is used in respiration, or converted into starch and stored.
carbon dioxide + water (+ light energy) → glucose + oxygen

Welcome to my blog!
This is my D.I.Y garden.My group uses Eco - friendly pots to plant plants.Here are some samples I took from the Internet.




I also found a few ways to make D.I.Y flower pots.

Me and my group wants to make Eco-friendly pots and plant plants because it does not hurt the environment and also helps the environment.Besides that,planting plants help cool down the temperature around us.Planting plants also help clean the air and provide clean oxygen.It can also prevent water pollution and soil erosion. Other than these benefits,trees provide wood,shelter and food.
