Understanding Truffle Migration

Question

I'm building my dApp by modifying the pet-shop example, however, I got stuck at the migration step. 1_initial_migration.js runs successfully but 2_deploy_contracts.js gives me the following error despite the fact I modified it accordingly.

I've read all the Migration Documentation and gone through a number of related post but I'm still having a hard time understanding how it relates to my project.

2_deploy_contracts.js:

var Plant = artifacts.require("Plant");

module.exports = function(deployer) {
  deployer.deploy(Plant);
};

Plant.sol:

pragma solidity ^0.4.18;

contract Plant {

    address public creator;

    // initial Variables
    uint public number_of_leaves;
    uint public remaining_leaves = 0; // has to start on 1 otherwise it cancels price calculation
    uint public initial_coins;
    uint public total_supply;
    uint public finney_balance; // 1 Ether is 1,000 finney - see this converter -> https://converter.murkin.me/
    uint public plant_price = 60; // Price is in Finney $20 if approx 60 Finney
    uint public number_of_plants;

    // Modififer to check if there's enough money for a new plant without wasting gas
    modifier onlyIfEnoughMoney() {

    }

    // only_creator can update price
    modifier onlyCreator() {

    // you need to send some money to initialise the contract
    modifier enoughToInitialise() {
        require(msg.value > 0);
        _;
    }

    function Plant(uint _number_of_leaves, uint _initial_coins) public payable enoughToInitialise {
        number_of_leaves = _number_of_leaves;
        remaining_leaves = number_of_leaves;

        creator = msg.sender;
        number_of_plants ++;
        depositedFunds(msg.value, finney_balance);
    }

    function buy_new_plant() private onlyIfEnoughMoney {

        uint number_plants_to_buy = finney_balance / plant_price;

        total_supply += (initial_coins*number_plants_to_buy);
        finney_balance -= (plant_price*number_plants_to_buy);
        number_of_plants += number_plants_to_buy; 
        plantWasPurchased(finney_balance, total_supply, number_of_plants);
    }

    function () payable public {
        finney_balance += msg.value/1000000000000000;
        buy_new_plant();
        depositedFunds(msg.value, finney_balance);
    }

    function terminate() private onlyCreator{
        selfdestruct(creator);
    }

    function leafPicked(uint numPicked) public onlyCreator returns (uint){
        require(numPicked < remaining_leaves);
        remaining_leaves -= numPicked;
        leafWasPicked(remaining_leaves, numPicked);
    }

    event leafWasPicked(uint leavesLeft, uint numberTaken);
    event plantWasPurchased(uint newBalance, uint newTotalSupply, uint newPlantNumber); // Event
    event depositedFunds(uint amount, uint newBalance); // Event

}

In the deployer call, you need to pass in the arguments of the Plant constructor. Otherwise, the constructor fails because the arguments are undefined.

module.exports = function(deployer, network, accounts) {
  deployer.deploy(Plant, <someNumberOfLeaves>, <someInitialCoin>, { from: accounts[0], value: 1e18 );
};

This is mentioned in this section: Deployer API
