There's fungi growing over my cupboard walls !

Just then, my mum suddenly started yelling at me and telling me how i'm a careless, useless little girl. The reason for this ? Because the plant's i've placed in no sunlight (in the cupboard) has caused it's fungi to spread over the cupboard walls. Now who has to clean up ? Me.

But I'm not exactly sure if i should or not because maybe this is part of the experiment ? The disasters and all. Plus, if i decide to move the plant's to some other sheltered place, i'm not sure if that's a good idea as the independant vaiable may change ?

Now i'm confused and frustated. Confused because i'm not sure what i should do with the plants and fungi. Frustrated because why are plants so annoyingly difficult to grow !? Ah well, i'll just ask my wonderful science teacher, Ms Zhang, about what to do :)

still no flowers

I've been watering my plant's all week and I don't understand why there are still no flowers !? It's so frustating !

My plant's have decided they will not pop out any pretty yellow flowers. I want to know why they're being so difficult.

Anyways, they don't seem to be growing much taller. The one's in the cupboard are developing fungi which seems to be spreading quite rapidly. No flowers have yet bloomed, who knows how long till one does.

This is hard

My plant's have been growing and dying throughtout the week. All of my outdoor plants have completely disappeared; the sunlight and heat was obviously too much for them to handle. I've continued giving them water but I'm not sure if they're going to grow back.

On the other hand, the plant's in medium sunlight are surviving! They're growing slowly and hopefully flowers will bloom from them soon.

I never thought i'd say this but growing plant's is quite depressing. When you see a leaf start to brown, this sudden feeling of sadness spreads over you. You suddenly feel desperate to save the leaf from browning completely. As though it's your duty. If you stop the leaf from browning, you feel like a superhero! But if you can't.. you feel dreadful. So just imagine how I feel; i've lost over 10 whole plant's :(

I guess this experiment is teaching me how hard it is to grow plants. Or how hard science experiments are.

Half of them are already dead !

Okay i've got some bad news.. HALF OF MY MARIE GOLD FLOWER PLANTS ARE DEAD ALREADY !
It's pretty heart breaking to watch them die actually, I wanted to be able to grow them until they were nice and big enough to be planted in the backyard. Ah well.

So for the past week i've been checking up on the plants. The fact some of them have fertiliser in them doesn't stop them from dying.

The seedling's i kept in direct sunlight have all died by now. I regularly gave them water and measured by how much they had grown. Yet, they still died. This shows that these seedlings should not be placed in direct sunlight as they will just dry up completely. Another really interesting thing I noticed was that the numbers I had written on each cup, had completely disappeared. Vanished. They weren't there anymore. I think the extreme heat and light from the sun caused the permanent marker to disappear. How cool is that !?

As for the seedling's I had kept in the sealed cupboard, they had died too. There was now this white fungi growing over the potting mix. It appeared to be fluffy and very delicate, as though if I touched it, it would split. I've taken photographs of the fungi growing and can't wait to see what happens to it as time goes by.

The only seedlings that have actually managed to stay alive are the one's in medium sunlight ! Finally some of my seedlings don't die ! I can happily say that I have five very healthy Marie Gold Flower seedlings growing :)
