Miracle-Gro.
Miracle-Gro and other similar fertilizers are simply combinations of the various chemicals that plants need to grow, particularly those that most peoples' backyards don't have enough of. To find out exactly which vitamins and minerals these are, just read the label on the bottle. The reason that these liquid fertilizer can work such 'miracles' is that they are water soluble. Plants absorb all of their nutrients together with water through their roots. If the nutrients are already dissolved in water, they can be taken up by the plants much more quickly.

Yes the type of liquid does affect the growth of plants. I have no idea why but it does. Plants are interesting organisms. They like to eat bugs and stuff.

They also love to eat candy canes and if your out there Be.... your the best one. I am not going to say any names but you go to Kms., you really need to take and pay attion because I want you and other people to change!

Here are some different opinions from our community:

The answer to this question is a resounding yes! The different minerals can affect the growth of different plants very much. The minerals and pH level of the water will contribute to the soil content, which is the most vital part of the plant's environment. The best example of this is probably the hydrangea bush. When the soil in which the plant grows is highly acidic, the plant's flowers will be blue in color. If the soil is neutral, cream colored flowers will most likely result. Soil high in alkaline content will result in pink or purple buds.

____

The answer previously posted is semi-correct. The question or questions being asked of this type are mainly will a plant grow better in sugar water, salt water, tap water, lemon juice, soda, coca cola, pepsi, apple juice- and the list goes on. A plant needs rainwater, sunlight and nutrient rich soil. It doesn't need refined sugars, salt, or even milk. Even miracle grow can be harmful to a plant. It contains large amounts of nitrogen. Too much can be toxic and kill the plant. It's like steroids on a human, you're all big and buff but the side effects are low testosterone levels in men and mental side effects. The result: fewer offspring. You grow twice as fast but live half as long.

Tap water has chlorine in it which is deadly to plants. Stormwater contains road grime or oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, radiator fluids, brake fluids and the list goes on and on, again. All of these things are harmful to plants and humans as well. As to changing the color of hydrangea blooms, you can do this by adding minerals to the soil and not the water as well. Just add some iron, zinc or copper to the soil and the blooms will change color.

Salt water in large quantities will kill a plant, but a plant also needs salt to survive, just like humans. Sugar water will kill a plant if the sugar level is too high. It causes unnecessary bacterial growth that can kill the root system. It can cause Diabetes in humans as well, but our bodies need sugars to convert food into energy. Plants are similar to humans in the fact that if we are given what we require like clean air, sunshine, clean water sources, protection from the elements and diseases, we thrive, but when any of these things are tampered with or removed, we suffer as a result.

My findings with different types of plants and also with during different parts of the growing process are that rain water collected during a rain shower provides much better results over the use of standard tap water.

In my findings such as germination of Tomato plants, as well as growth of seedlings, the rain water provided a considerable level of growth which was easily visible over a 48 hour period.

Plants like rain water; they grow faster, and are more healthy in general... it is a visible difference.

Even with Germination of small bulbs of flowering plants in an egg carton. rain water provides an accelerated growth pattern as opposed to tap water. You can see it with your own eyes, within hours, not days like tap water. Try it for yourself.

Yes some plants like acid soil and some like alkaline soil - if you try to grow a plant liking one type in the wrong soil it will die.

This is extreme but many plants are very sensitive to the soil type in which they grow while others just seem to grow anywhere!

Water should never be freezing or boiling when you water plants, it could damage the roots but warm water is sometimes very effective, especially with houseplants during the winter. Hibiscus, for example, likes to have warm water during the winter months.

How does the salinity content of soil affect the growth of plants and trees?

How can soil compaction affect a plants growth?

Soil compaction affects plant growth because if the soil is more compact it is harder for air, sunlight, and water to get to the roots of the plant.


How might the consistence of soil affect the growth of plants?

Consistency of soil determines the way that moisture penetrates and is retained in soil, making it either possible for plants to grow


How do soil organisms affect the nutrients available to plants?

Soil organisms affect the nutrients available to plants. In a hard rocky soil,absorption of water and oxygen is minimal. In a fertile soil, availability of water and oxygen is maximum which help in proper growth of plants. Even where the sun rays do not reach the soil adequately specially in dense forest, the soil organism is not conducive to nutrients available for palnts' growth.
