Plant Observations #4

Since we have pollinated, the leaves have been looking yellow, dark green, and purple. We have 7 pods. One purple stem and the rest are dark green. Soil was dry.

Since the last blog post the plant has been dying more and the leaves have been falling off.  We also have bigger pods and more pods.

I think there will be two seeds. I think the seeds are going to look the same as they were in the beginning. I think this is because I got a little sneak peak at the seeds from high view.

I have learned that Mountain Dew kills your plant. And you should not pour too much water or not pour too little water. Plants need photosynthesis. Pollination makes the leaves fall off and the plants die. Photosynthesis is the process of when plants convert light, carbon dioxide and water and lets out oxygen. We gave our manipulated plant mountain dew. When we noticed that the plant was dying we tried to bring it back to life by giving it lots of water. But it failed. So then we just threw the plant in the garbage. For the controlled plant we gave it water then it was growing then we had to pollinate the plant then the leaves started to fall off. Our tallest plant was dying. We picked out the good pods which was only one so our group did rock paper scissors and I won. So I picked out the pod. But for two people in my group the get to open the pod and take the seeds. Here is our plant schedule we put are plants on a tray we take observations someone waters the plant. We take turns and i am 3rd. The plant took like 2 days to grow a sprout and than it just quickly grew into a pretty plant.
