I don't know why I decided to watch this, but I'm learning a lot and this lecturer is great and keeps my interest!

My new favorite educator on KZread! I graduated college a few months ago with a psych degree and yet here I am suddenly passionate about gardening. I type this as my indoor plant with three brown, wilted leaves stares down at me with contempt. P.S. if you have ADHD or any trouble focusing on certain subjects for long periods of time, I recommend watching at 1.5x speed :)

Upon rewatch, maybe 2x speed 😂

Here is my take away: 1. Diversity: Plant kingdom is diverse and there are diverse responses to stimuli between plant varieties 2. Leaves: leaves absorb sunlight, produce food and perform transpiration 3. Buds: At the base of every leaf there is a bud 4. Balance: energy balance must be maintained between the roots and stems 5. Growth: there are 4 places of growth: terminal, lateral, root tips and cambium 6. Reproduction: it is top priority 7. Dwarfing: pruning is a way to dwarf 8. Control: bud growth is controlled by hormones/chemicals

Oh Thank you. I thought I was back In college 40 years ago:)

What an amazing class! This is the kind of teaching I have been looking for. I love how the scientific principles are made concrete through the anecdotes and application to plant puzzles. They really helped me understand the science. Thank you!

This lecture is so fascinating. How no one laughs at his jokes I don’t know I had a decent giggle

I love this class. Rick is such a confident and competent teacher. His calm and soothing voice is easy to listen to. Thank you so much! Appreciated.

Excellent training. I am now in a Master Gardeners Class in Hagerstown, Maryland and this was a very good class.

Fantastic lecture! I particularly love the case studies the presenter seeds here and there to get to the root of the issue and really plant the idea. Really helps stem the boredom and leafs you guessing!

My day off from work and I found this gem. Thank you!!!

Great lecture. Shared with the gardening world. A must watch for all plant people.

A thousand thanks! That was s-o-o-o o good. I now consider myself seriously enlightened. That lecture was really comprehensive, and i will never look at the garden in quite the same way again...made all the intensive studying of botany I have doing all make good practical sense in one moment. Keep those videos coming.

Fantastic review! Well worth the time spent in following the lecture..

Currently doing a horticulture course and the notes are too much to take in... Thanku for a wonderful lecture, learnt way more in this vid than i ever would in particular course!!

Thank you so much for lecture. This professor deals great laymen terms!!! At least for me.

I missed sign up by one day in Maricopa County. I have my own nursery and volunteer with the elderly in the wv to help provide quality service to those with fixed budgets. Thank you for giving me a formal resource so I can continue my education, I hate the way the classes are so limited in this county.

This has been really helpful. I’ve been trying to get into horticulture and botany but have found it quite difficult to find a starting point. This has definitely set me in the right direction

I'm a senior accounting student who now regrets my major but with no schools anywhere near me offering botany, I'm going to learn some basics and then maybe in the future I can go for a bachelors...

You dont need to go to college . I make a nice living off plants and i have had no formal education.I occasionally teach PHDs and people with master degrees(i get a kick out of that). If you want the names of some great books that really helped let me know.You can use your accounting degree to get you into growing. All ag companies ,farms and ,nurseries need accountants.

I agree about sick plants. It's boring when everything is growing fine.

Thank you!

Just started watching, looking for plant identification for ferns. There are so many!

thank you for this 💝

So much to learn:flora,fauna,Humankind,Elements,visible and invisible,so much I go crazy. All God'sCreatures. The Solar System. The Multiverses.... And iam just an Insignificant speck in the whole of this Complex. All in One One in All.

What a great speaker. Terrible audio, but great speaker!

I realize this is an older video but I have a question regarding transplanting houseplants. I am always telling people to not break up the root ball when they transplant. I try very hard not to damage the root ball when transplanting. It sounds like you agree with me?

Somehow I missed the 2hr marker for the time and thought this was gonna be one of those goofy 8 quick tip kinda vids. That said, when you really wanna learn something its gonna take more than 2 hrs, so this is a good start.

Yesssss I found itttt

When there is plenty of water they shrink? About stomata?

Just your average weed grower here to learn some more;)

You gotta start somewhere. Write any questions you have along with your notes and chase answers for them. That's how you build a quick map of a subject, and ultimately, experiment.

Ah mono, we meet again.

The part where he was talking about how he figured out what was wrong with the ash trees my mind was blown. I was sitting in my chair being like "OMG What the HECK is killing the TREES????" and it turned out to be a string trimmer. I was blown away.

Take a look at plant classification. There is division between seeded plants and spore plants.

Wish you had an organic or chemical free class... synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are why we have so many illnesses and pests.

why all botany are making wrong

no one likes gymnosperms

This presentation is missing - how to apply the 8 rules. It would be much more beneficial by first stating the rules then how to apply them to your plants.

Whole vid could have been summarised in 10min
