1. Cut a carrot 2 inches below its leaves. You can also use the full carrot.

2. In a pot, fill 2/3 with the pebbles, add the carrot, then fill around the carrot, making sure the carrot tip is exposed.

3. Add enough water to the level of the pebbles. Maintain water level at all times.

4. After the roots are exposed and the top leaves have grown, transfer to the soil. Dig a hole long enough to fit the full carrot of carrot piece. Keep the tip above the soil.

Partially. The green top of a carrot is the leaf of the plant- it combines water and nutrients with carbon dioxide from the air, and with the energy of light forms food and tissues for the plant. It will grow some roots if placed in water, but it will not regenerate a complete carrot.

What part of a carrot plant makes food?

Does sunlight affect the growth of plants?

Yes. Sunlight is a necessity for plants to perform photosynthesis which is how they make food (glucose). This glucose is needed for the plant so survive and more is needed to help the plant grow. Without the solar energy from the sun plants can't live or grow. Also, if a plant does not receive enough sunlight, it will not grow as much as it would otherwise. However, too much sunlight can also harm plants. It depends on the particular plant as to how much sunlight is needed.


What is the effect of light on mung bean germination?

The affect is a good plant becauise through the soil the plant/seed can still soak up energy that is needed for it to grow into a healthy plant.

Sunlights effect on plant growth?

"Plants don't eat like people do. Instead, they use sunlight for energy to grow and stay alive. If there were no plants, what would animals and people eat?people really need the sun. "As a tree grows it stores the sun's energy in its wood. When the wood is burned, it releases the sun's energy as heat and light.

Can a carrot top provide what is needed for the plant to grow?

Many portions of carrots are totipotent which means that, given ideal soil conditions (temperature/moisture) and nutrients a whole organism can be reproduced from a single cell. Simple answer is yes (tomatos exhibit this as well), BUT the resulting plant is not realy suitable for production purposes - more as a novelty

Do carrots grow on top of the ground?

Yes it can be used. In fact, carrot roots are used in carrot seed production. The farmer cuts the bottom one-third off, plants the rest in the soil (with the crown up), and the root produces a whole plant with the seed heads (umbels) at the top, about four to five feet off the ground. Carrot root cells are so totepotent that the entire plant of carrot may be raised from a single cell taken out from its meristem by tissue culture technique. The first cloning in plants was done in carrot plant in the early seventies.


Can a plant grow from just the top of the root?

A plant can grow from just the top of a carrot root, but not any root. This is because carrots have a special kind of root called a tap root. The plant that will grow from the top of the carrot will not be another carrot, but instead a green leaf type thing and there will be some very small hair bristle type things growing from the side. They will be light brown or so.
