Day 7 at the Waltons

The Final Day of this stage. Key points of how I have looked after the plant are that I have watered morning and night but only in moderation and placed the pot where it will get the afternoon sun only. Main observation of how the plants have developed are firstly and most obvious the height. But it is the middle shoots/leaves of each plant that have developed/grown the most and in some cases have caught up the earlier more smoother edged leaves.

My only real tip is to follow the watering regime and placement of the pot in the afternoon sun only as that seemed to work well. As the plants grow they are becoming a little more fragile, so that is one thing to keep an eye on.

Good luck for the next stage....

Day 6 at the Waltons

Really happy with the progress the plants have made in this week. Nearly time for hand over and the plants getting quite tall. Although the plants are starting to lean over a little, which I'm not sure is due to the direction of the sun or the weight of the plant. Put a couple of matchsticks in to steady a few of the plants.

Day 5 at the Waltons

All the plants seem quite tall and after another sunny day are swaying in that direction. Haven't really changed watering regime of morning and night.

Day 4 at the Waltons

The tallest plant is now 9cm high! Although the tallest are now starting to bend over a little. Not sure if this is due to extremly hot day or weight of the plant. Going to give them a bit more water tonight and see how they look tomorrow.

Day 3 at the Waltons

Day 3 and there is noticeable growth since the handover day. The plants definitely love and grow toward the sun. At the end of the day I spin the pot round so that they are not constantly growing one way (!?). Again just a drop of water morning and night. Half way through tomorrow, so i think I'll be getting the tape measure out to check their progress.....

Day 2 at the Waltons

As we are out during the day we either have to place the plant where it gets morning or afternoon sun. The kitchen windowsil provides afternoon sun. I've watered morning and night again, but only a small amount and the soil remains moist.

Day 1 at the Waltons - 01/06/10

The plants seem to have survived the long journey over the garden fence and are enjoying the prime position in the kitchen window. Its been an overcast day and I've watered morning and night but only in moderation
