Hey guys, I am growing a potato plant. I placed a potato in a clear vase and noticed white/cloudy water; did a water change and the next day it was white and cloudy again. Is this normal?

If not, how do I go about fixing it.

I did my science fair on how the different colors of light affect the production of chlorophyll in the leaves of a common houseplant (philodendron.) I found this topic on a website that also had an experiment where you cover the leaves with sleeves (transperency film) of the different colors of light. (red, green, blue, yellow, clear, and black.) It said to keep the sleeves on the leaves for one week than to record your results in a table of how much chlorophyll each leave produced. I did this one 10 plants and was not pleased with my results. I concluded that it went in this order of what color produced the most chlorophyll: clear, red, yellow, green, blue, then black. This may sound right but studies show that it should go: clear, red, blue, green, yellow, black. I am doing this experiment for another week, but am afraid to get the same results. Why do you think I got these results? By the way, its been very cold where I live (middle of winter) but the plants are still inside! Help!

I know from Internet reasearch that the Titan Arum is NOT only a huge stinky flower but there is another stage in which it grows into a huge stalk with bushy leaves at the top. BUT WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN? Does the stalk fall and then a flower grows in it's place? Or does the flower die and then a stalk grows in it's place? Or does the flower grow next to the stalk? I cannot find this info can someone help?

All I know is, this plant is probably common in South East Asia, and may be thought to have medicinal value.

Would like to know genus and species or common names.

Thanks!

By my understanding, a plant transports the starch it creates into the root system. Is there starch in the leaves as well? And if so, what is the purpose of containing starch in the leaves?
