The medium was perfect for the growth of the specimen because of its concentrations of potassium. I made different tests in order to understand it's ideal/preferred growth conditions in terms of temperature and light, these experiments showed that it likes dark environments with temperatures around or higher than 18°C. | ||

- The sample left in a sunny place (blue spot) haven't grown much, an initial growth like roots can be seen at the bottom of the sample. The second sample (red spot) have grown a little more than the sample left in the sunny spot, but at the bottom, any "root" can be seen. The sample left in total darkness have growth a lot, a shape in form of roots is almost all over the Petri box. | - The sample left in a sunny place (blue spot) haven't grown much, an initial growth like roots can be seen at the bottom of the sample.

After 15 days, the sample left in a sunny place (blue spot) has grown a lot in comparison to it first 10 days, a growth like roots can be seen at the bottom of the sample. The growth of the second sample (red spot) seems to be a constant.

The growth of the second sample (red spot) seems to be a constant. The growth of the sample left in total darkness seems to be constant too, and brown color is starting to appear around the root shapes. | ||

The temperature seems to be a decisive factor in the growth of this specimen, according to the exponential growth of the first specimen seen in the last 5 days. | ||
