Our First Week with the Cactus from Space

Weekly Update #1

The past week has been chock- full of excitement, and Julius and I are very exited to see how our experiment will progress from here.

This week we:

Received our Cactus experiment form our teacher,

and were thrilled to see how well the cactus samples survived space travel.

This warranted a celebration!

Two days later, we put the cacti into pots...

...with a special potting mix for cactus.

Then, we slowly started introducing them to light,

and began to water them.

Finally, Julius and I received a letter from the Governor of Texas!
The cacti samples seem to be recovering well, and are barely phased by the Texas heat. We will keep y'all updated to any major events, and I will be writing posts like this once a week with lots of photos  to show the cactus' progress.

Thank you for reading!
