Is there a way to tell how old a plant is?
assistant
Yes, there are several ways to estimate the age of a plant. One method involves counting the number of leaves on the plant and then multiplying that number by the average life span of each leaf. Another technique is to measure the stem diameter of the plant, as plants with thicker stems tend to be older than those with thinner stems. Additionally, you can look for signs such as yellowing or wilting leaves, which indicate that the plant may be nearing its end.
