|Pearls & Jade Pothos in the Seramis looks dying... Trying to revive it in the water medium. Mushy stem/root bud cut, put into the water with the rest. | |Pearls & Jade Pothos in the Seramis looks dying... Trying to revive it in the water medium.

Note: In the end, only 1 group of Pearls & Jade Pothos survived and grew a new leaf, that is the one which had 3 leaves in the beginning of cutting. The other ones I experimented with (by only growing 1 leaf or 2) were rotten. Lesson learned: always grow as a group, compared to Jade Pothos (they can be grown as single leaf). | Note: In the end, only 1 group of Pearls & Jade Pothos survived and grew a new leaf, that is the one which had 3 leaves in the beginning of cutting.

Propagating in water was faster to grow roots, but Jade Pothos also survived in Seramis medium. Younger leaves were faster in growing new leaves, maybe because of more growth hormones? | ||
Another observation is that, because I propagated them in 2 different mediums (water and Seramis medium), the roots that grew depend on the medium. The roots in water propagation grew smooth as one long root, whereas those in Seramis medium were branched and tend to grow deeper into the Seramis medium. | |||

I feel like I spent most of my time designing and planning for my prototypes rather than building the prototypes, both for the cardboard prototype (first prototype) and also the final one. I wasn't sure how it was supposed to be made, but I kept thinking about the measurements and the mechanisms so that I could make them work, at least logically in my mind. Sometimes even night and day, that I got a little bit overwhelmed. In the end though, I compromised the accuracy aspect and focused more on the functionality/mechanical things to make it work. "Just try it out" was definitely a motto for this project. | I feel like I spent most of my time designing and planning for my prototypes rather than building the prototypes, both for the cardboard prototype (first prototype) and also the final one.

===== | ===== Learnings from my Pothos plants ===== | ||
In this class, this is the first time I grew Pothos plants from cuttings as a part of my experiment. I learned resilience and adaptability from them, especially from the Jade variation. They are so resilient, and they all survived winter. In contrary, only one of the Pearls & Jade variation survived until now, but I learned that for Pearls & Jade variation, they should be propagated in a few leaves as a group instead of single leaves. This should increase their survival chances. | In this class, this is the first time I grew Pothos plants from cuttings as a part of my experiment.

It reminds me that adaptability is an important survival trait. | ||
