 What do plants need? In order for them to grow. In the heart of a seed, Burried deep so deep, A dear little plant, Lay fast asleep, Wakes at the sunlight And creep to the light, Wakes at the voice Of the rain drops bright, The little plant heard, And it rose to see. What the wonderful outside world might be. Plants are living things. We need to take care of them for them to grow. Plants need Air, Sunlight, Soil, And water. Plants rely on the energy in sunlight to produce the nutrients they need to grow. Plants need water for photosynthesis. From the roots, the water travels through the plant's stems to the chloroplasts in the leaves. Water also helps move the nutrients from the soil to the plant. Too little water can cause a plant to wilt or droop. Plants need air to make food and also to breathe, just like animals and people. They need oxygen to convert food into energy. Plants need our tender loving care. So don't forget, in order for plants to grow, they need sunlight. They need water. They need air. They need soil. And they need your tender loving care. I am a plant. Give me water to drink. Give me sunlight to live. Give me air to breathe. And I will grow and grow for everybody. Take good care of me if you want me to be healthy. Thank you for watching.
