Plants Blog Post #3

We pollinated our plants and then I noticed that were starting to get pods but i also noticed that the leaves and the pedals are falling off. Before we pollinated our plants our tallest plant died because someone was squeezing and pinching the plant so that’s why the plants won’t be that tall.

Here are my observations for the controlled plant shortest plant 2 inch. Tallest plant 2 and a half inches. Widest leaf 1 centimeter wide. Least widest leaf a quarter of a centimeter wide wow that’s small! After we pollinated our plants there were starting to get pods and now the plant has 8 pods that’s a lot! Our plants grow about a quarter of a centimeter a day. Some leafs are even more than 1 centimeter wide. For the controlled plants its pretty high one of the plant is 3 and a half inches long. Some are 2 inches long and 2 and a half inches long.  

I notice for the controlled plant that some of the colors on the leaves are dark green and some are light green. For one of the plants the stem is bent but for the rest of the plants the stem is straight up. The leaves are very straight and some leaves are bending some leaves are small and some leaves are big. There were lot’s of flowers blooming but after we pollinated the plant the flowers and some leaves starting falling off but then there will be a seed. After we pollinated our plants there were lot’s of pods it started out with 3 pods than 5 than 6 and now there is 8 pods! Isn’t that awesome. I think there will be a lot of more pods because I think there will keep on getting more pods. And I think that maybe every leaf will fall of because already a lot of leaves fell off so I think more leaves will fall off.
