This has an active but slow response. Fast plants in junior schools Part of a letter received from Don Stringman of the Pines County Junior School in Berkshire. Dear SAPS, May I take this opportunity to say how much we have appreciated working with fast plants. Judging from our experience of last term they have captured the imagination of decidedly mixed groups of 10 and 11 year old juniors in a way I had not thought possible. We welcome letters from teachers and students.
Growth is slower at lower temperatures.
Try growing the plants in a cupboard or small internal room. Alternatively, enclose the light bank to exclude cold air. It can get very cold near windows in unheated buildings at night. However, make sure that whatever you do satisfies your safety regulations. I cannot get any of the seeds to grow.
