Equipment used when caring for plants
Dragon Dung
Centaur Tears
Mooncalf Dung
It’s used as a fertiliser, usually on sensitive plants. It isn’t as strong as
Dragon Dung and if the soil doesn’t have
much vitamin content then it might not be
powerful enough to help the plant grow.

Plants preferred drink, It is more
vitamin rich then regular water and can revive plants moments from death. However they are toxic to
some plants.

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)
Care and use in Potions
![Page 6: Herbology review](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558a69b5d8b42a94278b4573/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
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.
Repotting

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

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!

Challenges in Herbology
![Page 35: Herbology review](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558a69b5d8b42a94278b4573/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
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.
The Gardening Effect
![Page 36: Herbology review](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558a69b5d8b42a94278b4573/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“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)
Alien Species
![Page 37: Herbology review](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558a69b5d8b42a94278b4573/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
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.
Hazards Posed by Alien Plants
