Title: What is a good plant to do a science experiment with?
Post by: Fullcircle on Jan 22, 2014
I'm doing a science fair experiment that involves plants. I need a plant that will grow to be no more than 5-10 inches tall with in one month of germination, is not a philodrendon plant, is a plant that I can acquire seeds of the plant, and germination period of the seeds is less than 2 weeks. If you have any idea of that sort of plant or a plant that you have successfully conducted a science fair experiment on then please help me by answering my question!

I think pea or bean plants would work well.

Some kind of brassica; a mustard or a cress. These seeds should be easy to find.

Radishes are often used because of their quick germination and growth.

Brassica. But peas worked for Mendel.

As curious orange suggested mustard may be your best bet. Weeds like clover seem to have a complete cycle in less than a month. They play havoc with my lawn.
