Environmental factors:
1. Type of soil used for planting - Different plants have different soil preferences, so planting a plant in unsuitable soil can hinder its growth.
2. Temperature of the environment - Extreme temperatures can either promote or hinder plant growth, depending on the species.
Genetic factors:
1. Resistance to disease - Plants with genetic resistance to specific diseases are more likely to thrive in environments where these diseases are prevalent.
2. Resistance to drought - Plants with genetic traits that allow them to conserve water or withstand drought conditions are more likely to survive and grow in arid environments.
