Sprenger asparagus (Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri') is a weeping foliage plant with small, narrow leaves arranged in whorls along thorny stems. It produces white flowers and orange berries, and prefers bright, filtered light with consistently moist soil and high humidity. Propagation is through stem cuttings or division, and the main problems arise from low humidity or becoming rootbound.

It produces fragrant white and pink flowers in groups and is usually grown as a hanging basket, thriving in bright sunlight with plenty of water and good drainage while being susceptible to mealy bugs.
Modifications of roots
The document discusses various modifications of roots. Underground roots like taproots and adventitious roots undergo modifications for storage and propagation. Taproots become swollen in different shapes like fusiform, napiform, and conical for food storage. Adventitious roots form tubers or clusters.

The Southern Yew is a conifer with long, dark green needles and unusual fruit-like cones. It grows best in medium light and should be allowed to dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering. It can be propagated from stem cuttings or seeds and is poisonous, so it faces few pest problems.
Standard Carnation Show
Standard carnations are dicot plants with opposite, bluish green leaves that are long, narrow, curled, and covered in white wax. They produce many colored flowers individually on stems from fat calyces. To select healthy carnations, look for long straight stems supporting flowers without brown or gray petals and undamaged calyces. Changing preservative water and keeping carnations cool extends their 2 week lifespan out of storage. Most carnations are grown in Colombia.
Spider Plant Show
The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is a monocot foliage plant known for its long, narrow leaves arranged in an alternating pattern that looks whorled. It produces baby plants on above-ground stolons and may flower in bright light. It prefers medium to bright filtered light and moist soil, propagating easily through natural tip layering or in water.
Scotch Broom Show
Scotch broom is a dicot plant used for cut flowers and foliage. It has small or nonexistent leaves, ridged four-sided stems with buds, and occasional small yellow flowers. Good scotch broom for arrangements has long straight stems without disease or damage that last a long time wet or dry. While cultivated for its flowers, scotch broom has escaped and become a noxious weed in the Pacific Northwest.
Salal Show
Salal is a dicot plant native to the Pacific Northwest with large oval leaves arranged alternately on zigzag stems that are green and red. It has small, thick petioles and leaves that are light green and glossy. When picking salal for cut flowers, choose those of an appropriate size without holes, spots or damage. To keep salal fresh, store in cool water and it will last for months; it can also be used dry or painted.
Prayer Plant Show
The Prayer Plant is a foliage dicot with oval leaves that have darker patches on either side of the midrib, and sometimes red veins. The newest leaf is rolled up and leaves may fold slightly at night. It likes medium light and to be kept warm and moist, almost like an African Violet. Potential problems include brown tips if too dry, rotting if too wet, and spider mites.
Plumosus Asparagus Show
Plumosus asparagus is a monocot plant with multiple needle-like, fuzzy leaves arranged in whorls on stems that grow up to 2 feet tall and bend horizontally. It needs bright indirect light, moist soil, and division for propagation, and its main problem is underwatering.
Red Edge Dracaena Show
This document provides information about the Red Edge Dracaena plant. It is a monocot foliage plant with long, narrow leaves arranged alternately with a distinctive red edge. It has a grey stem marked with leaf scars. It should be watered after the soil dries out and grown in medium light conditions like an east window. It can be propagated through stem cuttings or air layering. It is often grouped with other sized plants in one pot and its stems can be braided. Common pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and scale.
Peace Lily Show
The Peace Lily is an easy to care for foliage plant with long drooping leaves that appear whorled around a low, compact stem. It produces white spadix flowers and thrives with little light and care indoors, making it one of the best low light plants. Potential issues include scale insects.
Ovalleaf Peperomia Show
The Ovalleaf Peperomia is an easy to grow foliage plant with thick oval or rounded leaves that are sometimes variegated. It has thick stems that can have red or orange spots and produces tall thin greenish flower spikes. It should be watered by letting the soil dry completely between waterings and grown in bright to filtered light in a south or west facing window. It can be propagated through leaf bud or stem cuttings and may be susceptible to scale and mealybug infestations.
Norfolk Show
The document summarizes information about the Norfolk Island Pine plant. It is a conifer that reproduces through cones and has a woody stem and needles. It has reverse apical dominance so it is wider at the top. It prefers medium to bright light and needs good drainage, not being too wet or dry. It can become large and fill a large area when mature.
Norfolk Island Show
The document summarizes information about the Norfolk Island Pine plant. It is a conifer that reproduces through cones and has a woody stem and needles.
