Baby Dean (bean plant) Day 12 and 14


Baby Dean is really starting to grow up now. You can see in these two pictures that Dean is now a seedling not just a cotyledon and here pretty soon his leaves will start to form.







The container that Dean is growing in is a plastic 2-liter bottle.  The reason that Dean is doing so well in his habitat is because with a plastic bottle i poked holes in the bottom to let the extra water run out so it wouldn't get too wet in the bottle.  Since Dean is still very young his roots can't absorb very much water at once, and so the holes at the bottom allow that water he doesn't use to be released.
