Here are some updates and observations on my controlled plant…

Day 6: Growing well.

Day 7: Growing tremendously

Day 8: Growing more, buds starting to sprout

Day 9: Buds are clearly visible, and the plant is growing

Day 10: Buds growing and so is the plant

Day 11: Flowers starting to sprout

Day 12: Flowers growing little by little and the plant is still growing

Day 13: Flowers clearly visible and I am seeing yellow on the flower

Day 14: Everything is the same

Day 15: Growing a little

Day 16: Flowers are growing

There has been a lot of fast growth and the plant has been thriving.

Here are some observations of my manipulated plant…

The plant is still growing a little and weeping but sturdy. Some buds are  visible and the plant is still alive. Not much growth but the buds are still visible. The buds have not grown and the plant is still weeping more. The manipulated plant is not doing very well but my group will see what will happen.

As for the controlled plant, I think these things happened because it has every variable and is healthy. Also, I think that the outcome of this happened because it was a healthy plant in general, we gave it the same amount of water per day and this plant could handle this routine.

Now, to the manipulated plant. Before this we took away the variable air from this plant. In order to do this, we put a plastic bag around the plant. Now to my conclusion. I think these things happened because it was not used to having no air and it might have needed it. Although it has still survived, it can clearly not be a healthy plant in this stage. I think that the outcome was this because the variable (air) missing mattered, the plant was not used to this type of life, and in general, the plant was not healthy for those reasons.

These were some of my thoughts and I hope to learn more about plants.
