Do pesticides affect plant growth? If so, why?


If there were insects destroying your plant and you used an insecticide, it would improve the growth and health of your plant. If a fungus was destroying your plant and you used a fungicide that would also improve the growth of your plant. And if you used an herbicide on your plant, it would die, so that would also affect its growth.



Pesticide is a general term that includes insecticides, fungicides and herbicides. Anything that kills any “pest” organism is a pesticide. So pesticides would also include anything with an extreme pH, such as salt, vinegar, wood ash, boric acid and for that matter hot water.

I have a few jade plants that have been with me 15ish years. Additionally, they are extremely easy to propagate. Just pull off a leaf or cut a stem and put it on dry soil. In a few weeks you might see the start of a new plant. A few pointers: 1. Don’t water too often, but water thoroughly. I usually water mine about once a week because they are i n shallow pots. If they were in a normal flower pot I might cut this down to once every two or three weeks. 2. Don't be afraid to prune. They will actually grow much faster with occasional pruning and weak fertilizer. 3. Pay attention to it. This sounds simple, but if it isn't doing well, catch it early. Try moving it to a spot with different lighting or away from a vent. While there are easier plants you could get, I still have fun with mine af...
