I diagram my If, then, unless statements like this, would this be accurate way of diagram this condition?
• If, then, unless
----------------------------SPW--------------------------------------------/FB---------------------------FA
• EX: If [the seeds are planted in the winter,] then [flowers will not blossom unless fertilizer is applied.]
SPW: Seeds Planted in the Winter
FB: Flowers Blossom
FA: Fertilizer is Applied
SPW → /FB
........ → FB → FA
(The first arrow in the second condition is suppose to slant down from "SPW"

Here is how I would diagram it
SPW ---> FB ---> FA
I DID NEGATE FB. I learned that the part introduced by the word "unless" constitutes necessary and the other part consitutues sufficient , and you negate sufficient. That's how Testmasters prep course company taught.
Since the statement tells us "flowers will NOT blossom" , To negate that statement you take out the "not." That's how I arrived at my diagram.
