My Sunflower Plant

My plant has been growing for awhile now and is doing very well.

I started by watering the plant daily and wait for the plant to sprout. A few sprouted then I removed the smaller ones to prevent them from competing for resources. At this point I started watering the plant twice and day and sitting it outside to receive sunlight. I have done this daily for weeks now and my plant has grow to be nearly a foot tall.

Precautions I have taken also help the plant survive environmental hazards. I would water the plant frequently during the heat of the late summer. Since the temperature is getting colder, I am mindful to bring the plant inside at earlier hours to prevent damage from the cold. Also, I try to keep the plant inside during bad weather to prevent wind damage. The plant is also a survivor. It was unhappy during the hail storm that hit Macon last month but had little damage done to it.

That is how my plant is doing. I will update when new developments happen.
