Design

What we plan to do with this project is provide information about how Co2 effects the life and growth of different species of carnivorous plants, good or bad? We want to study the different effects of different amounts of Co2 levels inside our groups custom terrarium. We will be building our own terrarium to house our 3 different types of carnivorous plants, Venus fly traps, pitcher plants, and sundew plants.

The general timeline of this project is mostly likely 2-4 months :I

We plan on drilling holes in the top of the tank and mounting 2 spray bottles to water the plants with distilled water to create the most likely environment scenario.

Our hypothesis is, different levels of Co2 will help a plant grow better then if in just a regular air filled environment. (no previous experience)

Variables: Temperature, Levels of Co2. Thermometer, Co2 meter.

Most likely be excited or extremely disappointed(if they don't grow or die) we will write our results on this blog and (i will post it on Reddit).

We will be building a terrarium of our own design that can contain Co2 and release small amounts of Co2. Then buying 3 different types of carnivorous plants(listed above). Using basic potting soil and a grow light with tubing around the inside of the terrarium in which we will pour water through for irrigation. We will be measuring the height of growth per day and the levels of Co2 once every week and keeping a constant temperature of 60-80 degrees. Watering every other day, with 1-2 cups of water(not sure yet).
