GROWING POINT -- The tip of a stem, which is responsible for extension growth.

HALF HARDY -- An indoor plant which requires a minimum temperature of 50"-55"F for healthy growth. Compare hardy and tender.
GROWING POINT - The area where the new growth occurs. When a plant is pinched and the new shoots then develop, this is the growing point.
1) The growing point at the tip of a stem or root.
2) Refers to the pointed tip of a leaf.
Aphid ...
blind A plant is said to have turned blind when the growing point has died. In vegetables with a single growing point (such as cauliflowers and squash) this results in a failure of production: ie. no crop.
an inflorescence whose growing points continue to add to the inflorescence and in which there are no terminal flowers, and the branching is monopodial, as racemes, or spikes.rachilla search for term- n.
Plant the rhizome horizontally in the ground with the eyes or growing points facing up, if they are visible. The rhizomes do not have a top or bottom so there is no chance of planting them upside down.
They generally have only a single growing point (exceptions are clustering palms), and they won't branch and continue to grow if that growing point is destroyed.
Choose a firm, plump rhizome with ‘eyes' (growing point). You can break up or cut larger pieces to 2″ size but be sure each piece has at least two or more growing points. Let the cut surface dry for a few days before planting.
Meristem Any growing point of both root and stem on a plant, where active cell division is taking place. There are both apical and axillary meristems.
For the most part insects will feed on one part of the plants, roots, crowns (the growing point at the base of the plant) or shoots (blades of grass).
Make sure the growing point is pointing upwards. Cover with soil and firm.
Pot-grown bulbs may be planted directly in their desired position in a border where you want them to flower. This is known as planting 'in the green'.
Always cut back to a growing point, preferably an outward growing bud or branch
Removing branches from the middle of the plant will allow more air flow and light into plant ...
Bulbs are compressed stems containing a growing point (bud) or flower bud enclosed by thick, fleshy scale leaves. Some bulbs such as Hippeastrum spp.
Head back one year old shoots to the next growing point to force branching. The next growing point can be identified by the slight swelling in the wood and in early spring it may even show a bit of green peeking out.
Bare root plants that have green shoots or growing points are breaking out of dormancy early and may succumb to harsh weather still ahead. Available this month, bare root fruit trees, roses, and cane berries are less expensive than those in pots.
In cold-winter climates, place the plant so that the dormant growing points, or "eyes," of the thick, tuberous roots are buried beneath 2 in (5.1 cm) of soil. However, in mild-winter areas, plant so that the eyes are barely covered with soil.
BLIND -- The loss of the growing point, resulting in stoppage of growth. Also, failure to produce flowers or fruit.
BLOOM -- A natural mealy or waxy coating covering the leaves of some house plants.
Plant the bulbs with a bulb planter or trowel, three times as deep as they are tall, with the growing point facing up. Give the bulbs a little boost; bone meal can be added to each hole before planting.
PINCHING OUT: The removal of the growing point of a stem to induce bushiness or to encourage flowering. Also known as stopping.
PINNATE LEAF: A series of leaflets arranged on either side of a central stalk.
Plant the rhizome 4 to 6 inches deep with the growing points (the eyes) facing upward. If you buy cannas in a pot, plant the level of the pot even with the soil. If you bury the lower part of the stem, it will succumb to rot.
Dig up the clump and cut through the thick root system, keeping at least six growing points with adequate roots in each clump. Keep these sections moist, plant immediately, and then water in thoroughly.
Pinching Out: Removing the main growing point from a plant to encourage side growth.
Pleaching: A technique of weaving branches of a row of trees to make a more solid wall.
Calcium is used by plants in cell membranes, at their growing points and to neutralize toxic materials. In addition, calcium improves soil structure and helps bind organic and inorganic particles together.
meristem. The collection of cells at the growing point of a plant that are capable of cell division.
metamorphosis. The change in form that takes place as insects grow from immatures to adults.
Slugs destroy plants by killing seeds or seedlings, by destroying stems or growing points, or by reducing the leaf area. Slug feeding may also initiate mold growth or rotting.
The tip, pointed end, or growing point of an organ.

They may appear very quiescent, at first adding only one or two new growing points each year. However, they are plants employed for the future; after a few years they will create the desired picture in the garden.
The dead wood is protecting the growing point, and if a sudden cold snap arrives after you prune, more of the plant will be lost.
Don't remove protective mulches on perennials too quickly.
It's best to plant hardy water lilies from mid-April through May. Plant them slightly off horizontal with the growing point just above the soil pointing across the container.
CALCIUM--DEFICIENCY
Calcium will show up as weak stems/trunks as well as a reduction of any new growth from the plant's growing points.

Tuber A flat underground stem that stores food and plant energy, with growing points from which a plant grows.
Tubercle A miniature tuber, tuber-like structure or projection.
Tuberous With tubers or part resembling them.
Although heat is nonselective, flaming is effective in lawns because grass plants have evolved to withstand fire. They may look scorched, but their growing points are protected from the flame and will quickly recover without any sign of damage.
Propagate by seed, division or separation - Division is easiest method. Divide in spring. Make sure several each division has several growing points. Seeds need stratification (cold treatment) to germinate.
Plant the flowers about 12 to 18 inches apart from each other. Be sure that the flowers are growing at the same level and that the growing point is even with the soil. Do not bury the stem.
Signs of damage include silvering of the foliage and distortion of growing points and flower buds. The underside of leaves may be covered with excreta of the insect, which are like brown tar droplets.
Then discard the dead center and divide the remainder into sizeable chunks. You can use a spade, knife or narrow trowel for this. Make each chunk large enough to contain at least two growing points.
Definition as written by paulgrow:
A method of propagation by which a plant clump is lifted and divided into separate pieces, which include roots and a growing point, during dormancy. The pieces are immediately replanted.
Weeds that have already emerged (visible) are not consistently controlled because their growing point has escaped contact with the herbicide.
The crown should be planted with the growing point at or just below the soil surface, watered and then mulched with straw.
