- 5. Care and use in Potions There are many different types of plants, and each need different types of care. Important factors when caring for a plant include: Sunlight Habitat Lifespan Watering Repotting Planting(Type of soil and seed depth)
- 6. Repotting Repotting is extremely important in the life of a plant. In many plants, at the time of repotting, diets will change. They may need more or less food. Most plants will continue to need to same amount of sunlight but the water intake may also increase or decrease.
- 7. Most plants have native lands but many of these plants have left their native lands and adapted to live elsewhere. While this may be better for the plant it can disrupt life around the new habitat. The best habitats for plants revolve around: Sunlight Water Supply Temperature Climate Habitat
- 8. Lifespan Between plants life span varies massively. Many plants live from 3-5 thousand years! This is if their lifespan isn’t cut short by anything, like being killed for medicine. Trees have the greatest lifespan!
- 9. Use in Potions Plants are very important for use in potions, this is because without the correct ingredients many potions wouldn’t work or would give undesired effects. Some major plant ingredients include: Mistletoe Berries Wolfsbane Knotgrass Shrivelfigs Poppy heads

- 35. The Gardening Effect Called “The gardening effect” because of its correlation to simplifying our understanding of plants and the work of Herbogists, the negative perception of Herbology has only begun to have a large effect in the last three hundred years. In the beginning Herbologists were revered and thought of as extremely important in society, up until the late 16th century. The main reason this has changed is due to our knowledge of the world in the last couple hundred years. The reason of this decline was because with the new knowledge of the world the knowledge of the natural world became a back burner issue, and the people working with it as well.
- 36. Alien Species “A type of plant or animal living outside of its original habitat, ecosystem, or geological range.” Alien species include non-indigenous, introduced, exotic, and invasive species They alter the natural ecosystems effecting the plants that had already been there naturally, and invasion becomes a problem. The invasion process: The seed/plant propagates into new territory The plant adapts to the new environment The plant "takes over" the environment, growing in numbers that may be beyond what the ecosystem can handle (some plants are able to adapt, grow wild in the habitat, and not overextend itself)
- 37. Hazards Posed by Alien Plants They are from another place these plants require may require more nutrients than the land can provide for them, which will cause it to be taken from the natural plants. Estimated that invasive plants have taken up 7% more water resources in South Africa. It is possible for an invasive species to cause mass extinction of plants and animals.
Notes de l'éditeur
- Repotting a plant is a crucial stage. It can be considered a rite of passage. It is also a time for changes for the plant. In many plants, at the time of repotting, diets will change. They may need more or less food. Most plants will continue to need to same amount of sunlight but the water intake may also increase or decrease. These factors are not to be taken likely and should always be considered.
- Habitats are very diverse in the field of Herbology. Many plants have left their native lands and have adapted to live elsewhere. This is not necessarily a good thing as it disrupts the life in the new habitat. The habitats acceptable for plants tend to revolve around sunlight, water supply, temperature and climate.

- 37. Allien Species Alien species include non-indigenous, introduced, exotic, and invasive species A formal definition of this would be: A type of plant or animal living outside of its original habitat, ecosystem, or geological range. Alien species have effects because they alter the natural ecosystems effecting the plants that had already been there naturally. And invasion becomes a problem. How invasion works: 1. The seed/plant propagates into new territory 2. The plant adapts to the new environment 3. The plant "takes over" the environment, growing in numbers that may be beyond what the ecosystem can handle (some plants are able to adapt, grow wild in the habitat, and not overextend itself) 38. Hazards posed by alien plants Since they are from another place these plants require may require more nutrients than the land can provide for them, which will cause it to be taken from the natural plants. It is estimated that invasive plants have taken up 7% more water resources in South Africa. It is possible for an invasive species to cause mass extinction of plants and animals.
