Plant (verb)

To plant is to place a seed, cutting, or young organism in soil or another growing medium so it can take root and grow.

Seed depth: The vertical distance between a planted seed and the soil surface. Depth affects a seed’s access to moisture, oxygen, warmth, and light.
Direct seeding: Sowing seeds directly in the place where plants will grow to maturity. It avoids raising seedlings elsewhere and moving them later.
Seed: A plant embryo enclosed in a protective covering with stored resources for early growth. A seed is the most familiar object placed in soil for growing.
Natural regeneration: The recovery or replacement of vegetation through natural processes rather than deliberate planting. It establishes plants without people placing seeds or young organisms.
Seed spacing: The distance between seeds or plants in a growing area. Spacing reduces competition and gives plants room to mature.
Drill seeding: Placing seeds in continuous rows at controlled depths with a seed drill. It makes seed placement more uniform than scattering by hand.
Plant cutting: A detached piece of a plant used to grow a new plant. Many species can be planted as cuttings instead of seeds.
Sowing: The act of scattering or placing seeds for growth. Sowing focuses specifically on seeds, while planting also includes cuttings and young plants.
Soil preparation: The process of adjusting soil structure and conditions before growing plants. Prepared soil can improve root penetration, drainage, and seed contact.
Vegetative propagation: Producing new plants from stems, roots, leaves, or other non-seed parts. Planting cuttings is one way to propagate plants vegetatively.
