How do you know when plants have true leaves?

Answer by  FarmCat (29)

The seed leaves are the first leaves--the ones that come out of the seed. All of the leaves that grow after this are true leaves. Seed and true leaves on most, but not all, plants, look very different. Seed leaves usually turn yellow and fall off after a while.
