<p>64.252.203.155: /* 1. What are succulents? */</p> <hr /> <div>{{honor_header|3|1999|Nature&lt;br&gt;General Conference&lt;br&gt;2001 Edition}}<br /> <br /> ==1. What are succulents?==<br /> :Succulent plants, also known as succulents or fat plants are water- retaining plants adapted to xerophilic climatic or soil conditions. Succulent plants store water in their leaves, stems and/or roots. The storage of water often gives succulent plants a more swollen or fleshy appearance than other plants, also known as succulence. In addition to succulence, succulent plants variously have other water-saving features.<br /> <br /> ==2. Identify from plants or photos five succulents that are not cacti. How are they different from cacti?== <br /> ==3. Know the definitions of the following terms within a cacti/succulents frame of reference.== <br /> ===a. Areole=== <br /> ===b. Cephalium=== <br /> ===c. Coalesce=== <br /> ===d. Corymb=== <br /> ===e. Diurnal=== <br /> ===f. Epiphyte=== <br /> ===g. Glochid=== <br /> ===h. Nocturnal=== <br /> ===i. Offshoot=== <br /> ===j. Panicle=== <br /> ===k. Scale=== <br /> ===l. Stolon=== <br /> ===m. Zygomorphic=== <br /> ==4. When raising succulents — including cacti — they may be attacked by maladies. What are the most common and how can you prevent or cure the problems?==<br /> <br /> The most common cactus malady is mold, usually caused by overwatering. If mold is detected on a cactus, the affected part should be cut off as soon as possible, using a sharp knife. Then the wound should be sprinkled with sulphur or a fungicide. If the roots are affected, the core of the cacti is probably also affected and the plant will almost certainly die.<br /> <br /> The only pests that bother cacti are a type of scale insect of the family Coccoidea, and nematodes. Scale insects may be killed by squirting the plant with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and nicotine. If nematodes are detected, the roots of the cactus must be cut off with a sharp knife and the plant repotted in sterile soil until it grows new roots. The old soil should be sterilized and the removed roots should be burned.<br /> <br /> ==5. Propagate at least one plant by using one of the following methods: from seed, by cuttings, or grafting.==<br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> *http://users.lycaeum.org/~iamklaus/grow.htm</div>
