Plant Names• Identified by both common
and scientific names
• The name given to a plant be people living in the area is its common name
![Page 7: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Plant Names• Common name may reflect
some unusual characteristic of the plant or a specific use.
![Page 8: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Plant Names• Common names may be
confusing as a plant may be known by several common names.
![Page 9: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Plant Names• Common names may be
regional. The same plant, called by different names if different parts of the country
• Scientific names are often used in selling potted plants.
![Page 10: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Plant Names• Scientific names come form
the classification system based on how plants are related to each other.
![Page 11: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Plant Names• System was developed by a
Swedish botanist named Linneaus in 1743
![Page 12: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Plant Names• This system is still in use
today.
• All living things are divided into two kingdoms: plant or animal
![Page 13: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Plant Names • Each division is broken into
classes and each class into subclasses or orders
![Page 14: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Plant Names• The breakdown continues
through family, genus, species and varieties.
![Page 15: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Plant Names• The name given to a plant in
each category is always in Latin or Greek, with the exception of the variety name.
![Page 16: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Plant Names• Each of the plant categories is
called a taxon
• A group of plant categories is called a taxa
![Page 17: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Plant Names • Taxa are divided into minor
or major taxa. Horticulturists are most concerned with the minor taxa.
![Page 18: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Plant Names• The binomial naming system
includes the genus taxon and the species taxon.
• There are international rules which dictate the naming of plants.
![Page 19: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Plant Names• Rules stipulate that when a
name is given to a plant it cannot be used for any other plant
![Page 20: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Light requirements• Most customers give little
thought to the light requirements of the plant that they purchase. They are more concerned by its appearance and price
![Page 21: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Light requirements• Sales people need to educate
the consumer about the plant they are purchasing including its environmental requirements
![Page 22: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Light requirements • High light- these plants grow
best in full sun or bright, indirect light such as that found in or near sunlit windows or places where there is strong reflected light.
![Page 23: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Light requirements
• Medium light - grow best in bright, but sunless, window, or four to eight feet from a sunny window.
![Page 24: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Light requirements• Low light - grow well with
indirect light, such as that in a shaded window, or at a point more than eight feet from a bright window
![Page 25: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Watering• More plants die form over
watching than any other cause.
• Each plant has individual watering needs. The proper frequency is not constant
![Page 26: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Watering• Watering depends on the size
of the plant, the size of the container, the environment, and the time of year.
![Page 27: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Watering• determine if the plant needs
water by scratching the top 1/2 inch of the soil surface
![Page 28: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Moisture Requirements
• dry-in-winter plants: Desert Cacti and succulents
• should be treated as moist dry plants during the growing season
![Page 29: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
dry-in-winter• from spring to fall
• during the winter, the soil should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings
![Page 30: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Moist/dry plants• water thoroughly and frequently
between spring and fall
• water sparingly in winter
• let top 1/2 inch dry out between waterings
![Page 31: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Moist but not wet plants
• most flowering plants belong to this group
• soil is kept moist but not wet at all times
![Page 32: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Moist but not wet plants
• water carefully each time the surface dries
• never frequently enough to keep soil saturated
![Page 33: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Wet at all times plants• very few plants belong in this
group• water thoroughly and
frequently enough to keep the soil wet, not merely moist
![Page 34: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Rule of Thumb• in the winter check the soil
surface weekly to see if it is dry
• in the summer, the soil surface should be checked daily
![Page 35: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Cacti• in the winter, leave cacti and
succulents alone unless there are signs of shriveling
• keep in a cool room
![Page 36: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Drenching• watering the plant until water
runs out the bottom• if plants are sitting in drip trays,
empty the tray after 30 minutes to keep plant from becoming too wet
![Page 37: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Drenching• helps to remove salt build up
from the soil
• drenching is easily done in the tub or shower
![Page 38: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Permanent or temporary plants
• some plants are not expected to live forever
• this needs to be explained to customers
![Page 39: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Temporary plants• are purchased to be enjoyed
for a short time and then discarded
• some can be made to bloom again
![Page 40: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Gift Plants• fall into the temporary
category
• examples are: azalea, gloxinia, cyclamen, chrysanthemum, poinsettia, Easter lily
![Page 41: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Temporary• garden bulbs such as tulips
and daffodils
• can be later planted in the owners garden to bloom again next spring.
![Page 42: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Temporary• most plants in this group -
the flowers will fade and after a few weeks the leaves will fall
![Page 43: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Blooming plants• African Violet and Peace
Lily
• bloom continuously or cycle throughout the year
![Page 44: indoor plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5453a593b1af9ffc3b8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Blooming plants• may have attractive foliage
when not in bloom
• these would be considered permanent plants.
