Is it correct that dependent origination will cease to exist if one doesn't have 12 nidanas?

From [Pratītyasamutpāda - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prat%C4%ABtyasamutp%C4%81da#Twelve_Nidanas) : >dependent origination refers to nothing else but the process of mental conditioning as described by the twelve nidanas So to check if my understanding is correct, will dependent origination cease to exist if one doesn't have 12 nidanas? In my understanding, dependant origination is just an extended understanding of "condition". For example, if I say "plants need water, soil and light to grow", then water, soil and light are the originations. This doesn't seem to relate to the mental condition of the observer. So how do the two relate? And in general, how does one know that all dependent originations of a thing are "depleted"?
