AGAVE GEMINIFLORA by Sue Haffner
... until late afternoon; in winter it’s in the shade. It seems to do better with regular watering. As is true with most agaves, A. geminiflora is monocarpic—that is, it will bloom and die. This one does not normally produce offsets (though plants grown in crowded containers have been known to offset). ...

Plant physiology
.jpg?width=300)
Plant physiology is a subdiscipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants. Closely related fields include plant morphology (structure of plants), plant ecology (interactions with the environment), phytochemistry (biochemistry of plants), cell biology, genetics, biophysics and molecular biology.Fundamental processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions, tropisms, nastic movements, photoperiodism, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythms, environmental stress physiology, seed germination, dormancy and stomata function and transpiration, both parts of plant water relations, are studied by plant physiologists.
