Green: The color associated with healthy, growing plants due to the presence of chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.
In gardening, “green” is synonymous with life and vitality. It’s the color of lush lawns, vibrant foliage, and thriving gardens. Green represents the process of photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their food. A healthy green color in plants indicates they are actively growing and producing energy.
For home gardeners, observing the greenness of their plants is a key indicator of their health. Changes in color, such as yellowing or browning, can signal problems like nutrient deficiencies, pests, or diseases. Providing plants with the right conditions, including adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients, will help maintain their healthy green appearance and ensure they flourish in your garden.
