This experiment is about succulent propagation and the best environment for succulent propagation. We decided to do this experiment after all our other ideas were rejected. When we thought all hope was lost, one of our teammates suggested this experiment. We decided to do this experiment, but later we had to change our question and so on.
Not following procedure can bite, but way to learn from your mistake!
Even though the experiment did not work as planned, this does not mean it was a bad project. In fact, one of the most important parts of science is learning from mistakes. You showed strong creativity and effort in designing this experiment and building your own greenhouse. Even though the leaves did not propagate because an important step was missed, you did an excellent job of honestly explaining what went wrong and how you would improve it next time. That kind of reflection is a key part of being a scientist. If you repeat the experiment and allow the leaves to callous properly before planting, you could collect measurable root data and test your hypothesis more accurately. Keep going, science is about learning from mistakes, and you handled this challenge very maturely! BRAVO
