It's a tissue that grows, and it makes the plant bigger.

Cloning is a way to asexually reproduce a plant.  Plants produced in this way are identical (genetically) to the parent plant.\n\nTissue culture is the growth of cells in culture.  When plant cells are grown in culture, they are typically not differentiated, meaning they do not have specialized structures like leaves, stem, and roots.  They do have the same genetic makeup as the specialized structures, but have not expressed it.\n\nThese cells can be grown in large numbers, then allowed to develop a callus, or mass of cells.  With plant growth regulators, these cells can then be forced to differentiated to form plantlets.  These plantlets can be taken out and planted in soil as genetic clones of the parent plant.  \n\nThese can be raised in large number, and because of the absence of sexual reproduction, there is no diversity or undesirable traits cropping up (no pun intended).\n\nPlant cells exhibit a trait known as totipotency, meaning they all have the ability to divide and make another plant this way.

Plants need a number of things to grow. They need water from the soil, energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air and they need nutrients.  Very often one or more of these resources are limiting so that the plant can not grow as big as it would otherwise. Often the most limiting resources are water or nutrients. This can be helped by irrigation in the case of water or by fertilisers in cases were nutrients are deficit. Nutrients are building blocks in the plant. For example nitrogen, which is most abundant in the plant except for carbon, is an important element in \nproteins, as is sulphur. Magnesium is needed in the chlorophyll so that the plants can gain energy from sunlight. These elements can be given to the \nplants by fertilising the soil. Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium are generally given in the largest amounts. Sulphur, magnesium, copper, zinc and so on are given much sparse and are called micronutrients. Carbon is \nnot a nutrient in the same way, as the roots do not take it up. It is assimilated in needed quantities from the air as carbon dioxide.

Plants must have light to grow.  It doesn't necessarily have to be sunlight. Artificial light is a great to grow most plants too.  Photosynthesis is what causes plants to exchange necessary nutrients to create growth but each have unique abilities to utilize whatever light source is available.

Try illuminating a growing plant (¿beans?) with different wavelengths (a simple set of filters -yellow, red and blue- will do) in black boxes. \nMeasure the length of the shoots under different light colors with time. \nWhat you should see: Blue should give the highest growth rate, due to the fact that the maximum absorption of the plants pigments falls on those wavelengths.

Actually if we grow a plant( especially the trees) from its seed it may take a long time to flower. So if we do budding or grafting or layering the plant part will behave like the mature plant and we will get quick yield. Through seeds the plant may not produce the same quality seedlings like that of mother plant. Most often the undesired character can appear. In order to produce plant that has all the characters of the mother plants these methods are essential. In some plants like roses it is very difficult to produce seeds and it is very difficult to germinate also. So in that case these techniques are essential. In some cases the plant may have triploid and tetraploids which often may not produce seeds at all. More over, seedless varieties are preferred as in case of banana mostly the edible varieties are triploids. In some plants we may require thousands of progenies at a time (orchids, bananas etc). Then we will go for tissue culture. In tuber crops, ginger, turmeric etc he main propagation is through the tubers. I hope it is clear now.

Some seeds... the ground... water... the sun... \n\nIt's a pretty simple formula...

The vibration is the ingredient that promotes an increase in the growth of the plant.  I believe more carbon dioxide would be supplied to the plant by the vibration and the growth would increase.

The reaction to music is an odd one. The "Mythbusters" did a segment on it once. It seemed that the more SOUND a plant recieved usually resulted in more growth. Therefore, yes music does affect plants.

Yes humidity does affect the growth of plants but the effect is greater in conditions of low humidity (dry).  When it is dry many plants will minimise opening of their stomata to reduce water loss this also has the effect of slowing gas exchange.  Plants need to take in CO2 for photosynthesis, if the stomata are closed this decreses the rate of photosynthesis and therefore the plant has less sugars created.  When the plant has less sugars (food) it can't grow as much.  \nSwamps can have the effect of flooding the root systems of plants so they don't work properly.  There are specially adapted plants that can survive in swamps, most can't.\nHope this helps

There really is not much good information about the effect of music on plants because all attempts to do controlled studies on plants and music result in "no difference". Any "differences" between a music treatment and a no-music control (or other-music treatment) in pseudoscience studies can almost always be attributed to some difference in other variables in the project which have not been suitably controlled (light, water, fertilizer, soil type, humidity, etc.)

Some plants are notorious self seeders.  Their seeds drop very easily and grow even easier.  Others depend on insects and birds to pick up their seeds and spread them.

Cuttings - take a piece of the plant, usually stem, and plant it. With luck it will root & grow into a clone of the original plant. (You can also take leaf & root cuttings.)\n\nMicropopagation -take just a few plant cells. Put into a special culture medium & treat with plant hormones. The cells divide and form a callus. Alter the ratio of hormones and the callus grows roots. Alter them again and it then grows leaves. You then have a very small plant.

water... it's the nutrients, minerals etc. IN the water that makes it grow
