HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -A waxy layer known as the cuticle covers the leaves of all plant species. The cuticle reduces the rate of water loss from the leaf surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cuticle is a protective film made of lipid and waxy hydrocarbon polymers. It covers the epidermis of leaves, developing shoots, and the other parts of the plant above ground that does not have a periderm or bark. This protective layer prevents the evaporation of the water in the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plant cuticle is an extracellular hydrophobic layer that covers the aerial epidermis of all land plants, providing protection against desiccation and external environmental stresses.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cuticle is a hydrophobic boundary layer on the outer surface of primary aerial organs. Its presence is a common feature of all vascular and some non-vascular plants. Attaining the capacity to form such a boundary layer was critical to the evolutionary success of early terrestrial plants [1, 2].

Detailed explanation-5: -Organic material, such as coconut coir, peat moss, or even compost, will absorb water, retaining moisture that plants can use during dry spells. Organic material also improves the structure, aeration and overall health of the soil, resulting in better long-term success for your garden.
