More Measurements

ok so ill go straight into the measurements:
5th:
All the plants remained the same height except for the overwatered plant in the 2nd batch which gre 1/2 a cm so now its 8.5 cm tall :)
the underwatered plant in the first batch is starting to spread out, as in instead of growing all together the stems are starting to fan out to the sides of the pot (i'll include a piture in my next pot). The leaves of the overwatered plant are also starting to get smaller by becoming more shrivelled.

6th June:
the first batch has remained the same height and there is little change except for the 2 things mentioned above. In the 2nd bunch however, the:
underwatered plant has grown to 9.5 cm
the normal has remained 9.5 cm
and the overwatered has also grown to 9cm

7th June:
the underwatered plant of the 1st batch is starting to die!!!! it is drooping quite a lot and the leaves are scrunching up! The over watered and normal plant are also producing some die back- especially the overwatered one.the heights are:
overwatered: 8.5 cm
normal: 9.5 cm
underwatered: 5 cm!! this is because its drooping over because it can not support itself as it is not getting the essential nutrients to stay healthy due to lack of water.

The 2nd batch have all remained the same :)

8th June:
the underwatered plant is definitely suffering. It is now completely drooping and can't support itself at all. The length of the plant has still remained at 10 cm (you will notice the height of this palnt over the past few days has ranged between 9.5 and 10 cm- this is most [robab;y a precision error because even though i feel im being as accurate as i can and am out there measuring the one plant for quite a few minutes too make sure i have the right height, i doubt that a plant grows and shrinks .5 cm each day haha.)
the overwatered: 8.5cm
the normal: 9.5 cm
the underwatered plants HEIGHT is now 2 cm
the overwatered plant has a lot of dieback especially in the middle towards the back. Most of these leaves are 3/4 black and scrunched up.

the 2nd batch has all remained the same height :)
that is all for now with measurements but im going to upload all my pictures now!
