Vinca plants

The move is to take 4 Vinci make ups, which atomic number 18 about the same size, health, and flowering stages and find out which virtuoso forget grow the best. Each of the workss go away sacrifice 75 ml of a liquid d whole(a)y for 10 days. My Grandma bought them from Loses on family 20, 2011 for me. partitioning of the plants are as follows Control plant ordain get splatter water. gear up A leave get take out from the refrigerator. ground B will get Lou Ana Pure Vegetable 011. make up C will get sweet tea. We made up a pitcher near for the experiment, so that It s the same e precise day.experiment Every day for 10 days effect in 75 ml of liquid of a specific liquid into individu aloney plant and see which one will grow the best. Hypothesis I think the one with take out is passing play to grow best of the three, not including the lead. Milk is right(a) for the body and I think it could also be good for plants. twenty-four hour period Before The test Began Mom got the plants for me from Loses the day before so they were fresh. Also will motive 4 Styrofoam collection platefuls, 4 suitable size containers for the liquids, viewing tapdancee, permanent markers, camera, and ruler. 1 . Take the plants to field of battle they are going to e entire time.For me it was the cover lanai in the back of our house. 2. Put Styrofoam plates and place one under each plant prevents cross contamination and keeps the table clean. 3. Get roll of masking tape and a permanent marker. 4. Cut tape into 4 equal strips. 5. Mark each strip with name and put on plant. 6. find out the four containers for the liquids. 7. Put in 1st container water from the tap and put lid on it. In 2nd container, swarmed in 4 cups of milk, in 3rd container made up sweet tea and poured in 4 cups, and in final container poured in 4 cups of vegetable oil.Water and oil containers remained on the counter, and the milk and tea containers were in the refrigerator. Day Of The ess ay I dogged to measure and water my plants before school in the morning and early on the weekends. 1. Day one, I then took pictures of each plant. 2. Then I measured each plant and wrote down the sizes in my Journal. 3. With a standard cup, I measure out ml (1/C) of each liquid and pour it into the proper plant. I rinse out the glass cup in between each type of liquid. 4. I Jot down observations on the plants each day in a Journal. 5.I also get word at the newspaper to e accurate on the temperatures for the day before and score it in the Journal, along with any weather (like rain, clouds, etc). 6. Repeat steps 1 thru 3 for the next 10 days. September 21, 2011 Day 1 of the test Observations on the whole four plants are new, very healthy and have legion(predicate) flowers in different stages of opening. Plants are in original container with Styrofoam plates under them so there is no cross contamination. Plants are in the covered porch area to keep from getting wet from any rai n so they will not be contaminated by rain water. Get solarize on the whole afternoon.We took pictures and measurements of plants, as seen below.

The dying plants have wilted leaves and the flowers are all crumpled up. The dying plants have all shrunk in size. The control plant is healthy green and tall. Plant A- Milk 6 tall Plant 6 h tall Plant C -Sweet Tea 6 h tall CONCLUSION OF MY try The only plant that did well was the one with plain water. My hypothesis was wrong. The milk plant did the worst by far If I was to do this experiment again, I would never, and I mean never, pick milk as one of the liquids.I would like to try some more different liquids, like tap water with oracle grow (fertilizer) and made Cool-Aid, because it is basically water with sugar and food coloring. I would like to see if plant does well with Cool-Aid because it is some all wat er and would like to know if the food coloring would change the color of the plant/flowers. I would like to run this experiment in the summer time when it is hotter and they would get more sunlight. Wonder if the failed plants would have died instant(prenominal) in hotter temperatures or if they would have fared better. My other thought on liquids was the try Coca-Cola as one of the liquids.
