Our Brussels Spout plants have grown A TON it's actually insane how cool it is when plant grow. When we first planted the Brussels Sprouts they were just barely poking out of the ground with little thin brown arms that looked almost like grass. Now after a couple weeks they're really starting to look like real plants, they have some leaves and even a couple of flowers, not to mention that now the plants are actually green.
There are a couple of different cycles that our Brussels Sprouts go through, one of them being the Water Cycle. The plant consumes water that it may get from rain and it gets used by the plant. Water is also evaporated off the plant and is put right back into the atmosphere to restart the cycle. This cycle just keeps repeating over and over in a perfect system.
Our plant also goes through the Carbon Cycle, which is how carbon flows through the atmosphere. Our plant participates in this through a process of photosynthesis, which occurs when plants take in carbon and in turn release oxygen into the atmosphere. The plant uses the carbon dioxide to make different kinds of sugars and proteins, these give the plant energy to live. In making these sugars and
proteins the plant also puts some of the carbon into the soil which eventually makes it's way back into the atmosphere.
The last cycle that our plant is apart of is the Nitrogen Cycle, which is a little more complicated than the Water Cycle and Carbon Cycle. Through rain, nitrogen is absorbed by the soil and rest in it until its taken up by the plants. Plants use nitrogen to make DNA and proteins that help plants thrive. This helps the plants stay healthy and also contributes to chlorophyll which gives plants their green color.
