Second Plant Post

Over the past 2 weeks I have been watching two plants grow.  One we used water and one we used seltzer.  

 

Our control plant was really growing.  Last time when we measured the plant was about an inch tall.  I thought this was pretty tall.  It was really green.  There were little buds on them but one of them was purple.  I thought this was strange.  The plant was growing up and out a little bit with the buds.  

 

Our manipulated plant was not growing.  I was watering it every day with flavored seltzer.  It didn’t have anything coming out of the soil.  There were no sprouts.  There was no color and there was no growth.  The seltzer had flavoring so it did not grow. Now we are putting in  water so it grows.

 

I am discovering that seltzer with flavoring does not help a plant grow.  My teacher is telling us to now use water in our plants.  

This is my control:
