Plants need the correct mixture of soil which includes fertilizer, sand, peat moss and other ingredients in order for the plant to flourish. We needed it in class when growing our radishes we had to make the perfect soil in order for the radish to grow. #apesland APES Project Lorax

Here we can see my little tree needs some assistance. It’s being held by a string so it may need some fertilizer, potassium, nitrate or peat moss to help it become stronger. Or we just need a bigger pot… #apesland #franklinlorax

This is a real plant that I am surprised we have kept alive for so long! It’s soil needs to be rich in nutrients allowing it to grow along with some water and sunlight! #apesland APES Project Lorax

I light my candle and keep my windows open instead of turning on my lights to save some electricity. I also make sure to unplug any cords I am not using! This way I can save my family some money :) APES Project Lorax #apesenergy
