Living or Not

         Our plants are green, healthy, and are currently still growing. The plants are again a couple inches bigger than last time, showing that the plant is growing. The plant is also a healthy green, and the caterpillars are conducting mutualism with them. There is also proof that they are alive through the stems. Currently, there are no signs of brown, which are common indicators that the plant is not receiving enough nutrients, as well as signs of death. The plant is also participating in all the cycles, such as the water cycle, because the plant is absorbing moisture and growing, shown by the growth rate of the plant. There are currently no signs the plant itself is dying, and it is still growing and prospering with the recent rainfall.
