Adventitious Roots
Aerial Root Nub
The start of an aerial root.
Aerial Root
(A type of adventitious root) The roots a plant puts out above the soil for the purpose of climbing
Apex
Leaf tip
Apical (or terminal) Growth
This is the growth found at the very top of your plant and will emerge in a cataphyll attached to your most recent petiole.
Areole
The tiny bumps that grow into clusters of cacti spines.
Axil
The angle formed by where the petiole meets the stem.
Axillary (or lateral) Bud
A raised bump on the stem by each node - often hidden by a petiole. Axillary buds are found on lower nodes (rather than the top - your apical growth) and on many houseplants will only become activated if the plant is chopped above or below the node it is present on.
Cataphyll
A modified leaf which lacks a blade and in appearance corresponds to a petiolesheath; may be used to describe other leaf types whose technical names are defined by positionrather than form, e.g., prophylls are usually of cataphyll shape in Araceae, compare, prophyll.
Cataphyll
A modified leaf that lacks a blade
Dicots
Produces two seed leaves. On Dicots, each node produces two leaves on either side.
Epiphyte
Plants that can absorb nutrients & moisture through the air.
Extrafloral Nectaries
Fenestration
Fibrous
Inflorescence
Internode
The area on the stem between two nodes.
Leaf Blade (or Lamina)
Includes the apex, margin, veins, and midrib.
Leaf
Margin
The outer edges of a leaf.
Mid Cutting
Midrib
The central vein of a leaf.
Monocots
Produces a single seed leaf. On Monocots, each new leaf emerges from the center of the plant. Ex. Monstera, Philodendrons, Dieffenbachia, Calathea, Alocasia,
New Growth
Node
� Raised ring around the stem where�the petiole meets. Nodes contain everything needed to form new growth or to propagate a new plant!
Offset (or Plantlet)
Peduncle
Petiolar Sheath
Part of the stem.
Petiole
The 'leaf-stem' that connects the leaf blade to the node on the main stem.
prophyll
the first leaf of a branch (or sympodial unit); in Araceae almost always a 2-keeledcataphyll, often confused with cataphyll; cataphyll refers to a particular type of morphology(reduced leaf), prophyll refers to the position of the leaf along a branch.
Pup
Rhizome
Root
Anchors the plant and absorbs water and nutrients.
Runner
A leafless vine with nodes.
Slit
Stem
The main part of the plant that supports the roots and all other growth.
Sulcate Canal
Taproot
Top Cutting
Veins
Channels that support and transport water & nutrients.
Venules
The smallest veins---
