How to grow plants?

Spring is coming soon. What a great time to plant specially flowering plants. If you want to see a plant grow under your eyes, here's a good project for you to do this spring. If you have a younger sibling, you can pretend to be the teacher and make it a learning project. It would also be great for your kids. First, buy some gladiolus bulbs, you can plant them inside or outside. For one bulb, a flowerpot is big enough. Be sure to keep the soil damp. After three or four weeks, a little green shoot should appear. One little girl saw the shoot right before her nap. When she woke up, she looked at it again. It had grown so much that she could see the difference. She was amazed. Teach your brother or sister how to measure the shoot. Write down how tall it is every day. If you have a camera, you can even take pictures of it every three or four days. The gladiolus will grow so fast as it will amaze you, too. Most gladiolus plants produce flowers.
