- Submerged plants receive lesser illumination as compared to exposed floating plants in a lake. Give reasons.arrow_forwardleaves fall off when growers place plastic sleeves to cover the plant because of poor circulation and the lack of oxygen causes the plants not to breathe. Even though, the sleeves are a temporary fit for transport and shipping, what other items do you think the growers can use instead of the plastic sleeves to help?arrow_forwardGrowers often wrap potted plants in plastic sleeves prior to shipping. If plants remain in these sleeves too long, their leaves curl and fall off.
