What is it about?
Many scientists do controlled experiments with plants, but what do you have to know before you start such experiments? We compiled wisdom from a number of experienced scientists, and listed a number of do's and dont's, that will help you to avoid the pitfalls and the mistakes that many of us have made before. With helpful suggestions, and a checklist of what to think about.

Why is it important?
Doing experiments under the right conditions is essential to get relevant results out of your experiments, and this paper helps you in that respect.
Perspectives
It was really fun to write this paper, as I learned a lot from my experienced colleagues, and I think this could be a helpful resource for everybody who starts in this interesting field.
