Similar to humans, plants have vital needs that must be fulfilled in order to grow. Light, water, air, nutrients, and proper temperature all affect plant growth. The importance of these necessities differs widely among plants but are vital nonetheless. Plant health also relies heavily on what scientists refer to as the limiting factor.

For example, Graph 1 shows the Control trial achieved the greatest average length (31.5 mm) by the end of the experiment in comparison to all…
