Cheryl is into growing houseplants and realized that she has lots of questions about how they work, so we're going to do a whole unit just on houseplants! This week we learn about how overwatering and underwatering are related to each other, the things plants need to live, and why roots are so important for healthy plants. Its never too late to learn about the world around you.
This is part of the Houseplants unit.
