___________________________________________________

Sorry didn't update the plant photo for awhile... The experimental plant was being move to the larger field, and being mix together with the others plant.... I'm now unable to separate my experimental plant from the others... Guess have to re-do another experiment.... I should make mark on the pot next time....

Day 14 - Week 2
(11 Jan 2011)

Day 13
(10 Jan 2011)

The new leaf from the center already start to growth since day 10....

My plant are growing till about 1.2 cm, then it start to introduce a new leaf and growth as long as 3 cm to it's full length on day 13...

Forgot to take photo to show that the root are growing slightly longer to about 0.6 cm below the spongie...

Day 8
(05 Jan 2011)


The plant is taking its time to grow.... It's now approximate 1.8 cm tall.


One of the plant have root showing on the bottom of the spongie...
I think it's a healthy sign of growing.

Day 7 - Week 1
(04 Jan 2011)

I didn't take any photo today... because didn't see any significant change happening...


___________________________________________________


Day 6
(03 Jan 2011)



It grew into the height of approximate of 1.1 cm in 2 days....
Yeee, Happy Plant!

(No special treatment... Just stay still in their container home)
I might have to wait for another week till they're big and strong enough to handle the strong sunlight....

Day 5
(02 Jan 2011)


Things seem to looking pretty good.... It really does growth out over night...



___________________________________________________


Day 4
(01 January 2011 - Happy New Year!)

May everyone life full of great joy and bright future.....



It grew really really fast....


But I saw some brown spot at the root... I'm not sure if it's a healthy signal...


Either way, I'm moving them to it's new home..... "Le Sponge"
(I pre-soak the sponge to it's full potential)


Being very carful when transfer the plant from tissue paper to it spongie home.


Home Sweet Home
I then return them back to it's original container

(New Year, New Beginning, New Hope)

Hope no shock happening.
Hope they love their new home.
Hope they can adapt to their new environment.
Stay on and be strong.

Day 3
(31 December 2010)


The root is growing very rapidly and the plant itself is breaking free from the shell... I guess it was 4 that make it to the miracle stage instead of 3.

// conclusion: Over-seeding is better....



DETAIL: I can see the baby roots are start to grow out from the immature plant...


// I'll might want to wait for another day before the transplant process because I want them to be slightly stronger....


___________________________________________________


Day 2
(30 December 2010)

Day 2 ----> I start seeing the tiny white tail breaking off from some of the seed... It seem like only 3 out of 5 create miracle...


___________________________________________________


Day 1
(29 December 2010)

I germinate the seeds by placing it between a damp tissue then into a container

Tightly close the lid and keep it somewhere warm...

I place mine on top of refrigerator (hee hee) where the sun can't reach and the heat generate from the refrigerator can also keep it warm....
