Last blog post on Crystal Garden

This is the last blog post on the crystal garden, after two weeks of observation the crystals .............(drum roll) haven't grow as i expected. The view the i had was that the cotton would absorb the sugar and the crystal on the tree would kinda blow up and the cotton would look be fluffy but filled with beautiful crystals. The cotton on the floor i put the sugar on as lava grew a tiny bit and i loved the color but then i put Epsom salt and the crystals grew so well but the color of the lava didn't look right because it was to light. But on the bright side i did get more crystals with the salt so i look a bit better. The sugar wasn't very easy because it does grow very slow, sometimes ive seen that making it with sugar to make it look cool it takes a year or so.

The general observation is that when the any liquid is put in a puddle of its solution it grows faster. So if you want to make a crystal garden to be a bit faster putting the whole solution in a huge puddle.
 For example if you look at matija draskovics he has a puddle and he has amazing crystals.

All in all i loved this project and it was tons of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!
