Plants: Week 4

Thyme plant

Violet plant

The thyme plant is still growing well and is blooming. There are now around 10 clusters of flowers and many more buds are appearing. The height is still at 6cm, so I presume that it has approximately reached its maximum height. Thyme is a "groundcover" plant and therefore is expected to not grow very high. There is an increase in the number of stalks and flowers. The violet, still growing taller, is reaching about 25-27 cm tall. It is still growing taller but there is increased foliage. Because the stalks are still growing taller, there is more support needed to make it stand vertically. The bamboo skewers were helping slighting, but to reinforce it even more, I looped some wire loosely around the stalks to keep the stalks somewhat vertical. I also added another skewer so the stalks wouldn't have to crowd around one skewer.
The temperature this week fluctuated between 16-19 degrees approximately. It was generally colder due to the increased rain this week.
