	Ornamental plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ornamental plants are typically grown in the flower garden, or as indoor plants.
		Ornamental plants may also be used for landscaping, and for cut flowers.
		Ornamental plants and trees are distinguished from utilitarian and crop plants, such as those used for agriculture and vegetable crops, and for forestry or as fruit trees.

	Ornamental Plant Care
		Most plants need regular pruning after the first few years to insure the correct shape and natural growth habit for the area they are in.
		We suggest you fertilize in the spring and fall with a 10-10-10- or 16-16-16 plant fertilizer.
		When you take the plant out of the container and see the roots wound tightly in a mass, this means it is "root bound." Just cut a criss-cross in the bottom and feather the roots apart before planting.

	Ornamental Pepper - Plant of the Week
		Ornamental peppers are compact and grow12 inches in height and width.
		Because the plant is indeterminate in its growth habit, it has fruit in all stages of development and gives a handsome blend of colors throughout the summer and fall.
		The ornamental peppers are grown both as bedding plants for front-of-the-border display or as a pot plant for table decoration.

	How to Plant Ornamental Grasses
		Fall planting is often not as reliable without some additional precautions, particularly in years with early or severe winters.
		Plants should be planted no deeper than their previous growing depths and should be well watered after planting.
		Plants planted too deep tend to develop root diseases or simply rot in the ground.

	ORNAMENTAL CROP PROFILE
		Plants are scouted weekly in April to detect spring pests such as cool-season mites (eriophyid, southern red, spruce spider, and boxwood mites), aphids, azalea lacebugs, leafminers on boxwood and holly, eastern tent caterpillars, forest tent caterpillars, boxwood psyllids, Nantucket pine tip moth, euonymus scale, and Pityogenes beetles on balled and burlapped white pines.
		In May, plants are scouted at least twice for aphids, lacebugs (azalea and hawthorn), scales (cottony, lecanium, terrapin, euonymus and wax), bagworms, caterpillars, mites, leafminers (boxwood and holly), fl vine weevil, white grubs, boxwood psyllids, leafhoppers, borers (dogwood, rhododendron, azalea/dogwood twig and ash/lilac), spittlebugs, and maple petiole borer.
		Plants are scouted in August for aphids, caterpillars, mites (two-spotted and false), gloomy scale, white grubs, and borers (peachtree and banded ash clearwing).

	Goodness Grows In North Carolina Plant / Nursery Outline
		Traditionally, plants were grown from seed, and sometimes the parts of one plant were grafted or budded onto another.
		Plants may propagated from seed by sowing the seed into rows, specially prepared seed beds, or containers filled with a soil-free growing mix.
		Plants are either "found apparently free of injurious pests and diseases" or their sale is prohibited.

	Ornamental Tobacco - Plant of the Week
		The ornamental tobaccos, and there are perhaps half a dozen that have been grown as such, have a strong family resemblance to the N.
		The masses of trumpet shaped tubular flowers are snow white in color, 3 inches long and borne in drooping panicles at the top of the plant.
		While you want to avoid late season frosts, this plant should be planted as early in the season as possible.

	Ornamentals Outreach
		Plant Development: Our outreach emphasizes sustainable landscapes: We focus on plant materials that are economical to grow and maintain—in home, work, and recreational plantings—and that require a minimum of water, fertilizer, or pest control chemicals.
		A second focus is to obtain and evaluate plant materials that may be substituted for pest-prone taxa, such as salt-tolerant conifers suitable for replacement of Japanese fl pines dying along the RI seaboard, and replacements for infested Canadian hemlocks.
		Crabapples are planted widely in the Northeast and a crabapple orchard exists at the University of Rhode Island.

	Plant pathologists: Rust disease impacting ornamental plant production
		The U.S. ornamental plant industry, which includes deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs, cut flowers, and foliage and flowering potted plants, grew in value to $14.3 billion in 2002.
		Symptomless plants are then moved long distances through international or interstate trade, dispersing the pathogen and introducing it into areas that were previously pathogen-free.
		International trade of ornamental crops has made the exclusion of rust pathogens difficult because contaminated plant parts may be symptomless and inadvertently allowed to enter quarantined areas.

	Care of Ornamental Plants in the Landscape
		Caring for ornamental plants is more difficult when they are not well-suited to the site selected or when they are improperly planted.
		Two ornamental plants in the landscape that are commonly sheared are liriope and ornamental grasses such as pampas grass.
		Curling or distortion of new plant growth, stunting of the plant, the presence of a sticky substance on the upper leaf surface, or a fl sooty mold growing on the upper leaf surface indicate the presence of aphids, scale insects or whiteflies.

		Healthy plant growth on a normal schedule to meet quality standards is the basis for making money in the nursery business or having satisfied landscape customers.
		Plants can be stunted or grow slower than they should because of environmental factors such as being planted too deep, over watering, media pH being too high, or over-fertilization.
		That depends on how soon the plant will be sold, and how your customers accept the presence of beneficial insects on their plants.

	Ornamental Plant Disease New to Ohio Poses Threat to Daylilies
		Since photosynthesis, the process of how the plant obtains food, is conducted through the leaves, limited number of leaves on the plant reduces its chances of surviving through winter.
		The disease spreads easily from plant to plant via spores carried by wind-driven rain and has a short incubation period, infecting leaves two to three days after inoculation.
		Any leaves found with the disease should be removed from the plant and disposed of either through burning or placed in lawn bags and discarded.

	GERMINATION OF ORNAMENTAL PLANT SEEDS: INTRODUCTION TO THE SYMPOSIUM
		The seed physiologist or technologist interested in the germination of ornamental plant seeds must combine the attributes of a horticulturalist and an ecologist.
		The utilization of seeds of ornamental species, however, is hampered by the fact that there has been very little selection for horticulturally important characteristics of the seed.
		In ornamental species, the flowers, foliage, fruits or overall morphology are the horticulturally important characters, and little selection specifically for seed qualities has occurred.

	Other ornamental herbs
		By "ornamental" we mean that the primary current usage in America is purely decorative, although some of these have a long history of medicinal or culinary usage.
		Soapwort, for instance, is now grown for its pretty pink flowers, but my own grandmother used to harvest these plants (on the western Nebraska prairie)and pound them on rocks to produce a mushy substance she addded to the soap she made in the back yard.
		(It is strictly an ornamental oregano; with it's very fuzzy leaves, it would probably feel as though you were eating a cotton swab!) Later in the season the plant develops greenish, hoplike bracts with pink, pendulous flowers.
