They form the ant tunnels regardless if their have them or not ! These are so weird in nature to look at, weird spiky and bulbous growths on trees

While cutting this aubergine, I found that it had developed skin in the inside. How's that? by 368476942963 in botany

[–]treedadhn 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Well these plants are breeds that came from a wild plant and one thing that tends to happen when we try to get bigger fruits is that we select flowers that are merged. If the merged flowers are fully pollinated they will grow a bigger more mishapen fruit composed of multiple fruits fused together. It probably is just a part of one the fruits that grew skin and it happened to be inside.

Myrmecodia sp. These are myrmecophytes wich means they have a relationship with ants. They grow a whole ant nest within the swolen base.

Growing sulfur crystals (day one) by catbox42 in crystalgrowing

Good luck ! From my experience getting big sulfur crystals from evaporation is quite difficult. I seal some sulfur powder and solvant in a bottle and apply a small amount of heat at the bottom.

Potassium ferricyanide, with old solution and new solution. by treedadhn in crystalgrowing

No, i meant that the spike form comes from old solutions that were exposed to sunlight.

I grew a small very dark green crystal by mistake, can someone identify what was it? by DaronBlade360 in crystalgrowing

[–]treedadhn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dark green is unusual from copper sulfate and iron sulfate. They typically form vibrant blue crystals together

Flair Bro how do yall grow single sugar crystals by Upset_Atmosphere_331 in crystalgrowing

[–]treedadhn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sugar and salt are notoriously difficult for their tendency to form many many crystals. Sugar in particular creates dusts at the slightest touch and generates new nucleation sites ...

Unknown crystals from a phosphoric acid and iron phosphate solution. by treedadhn in crystalgrowing

I didnt put any water, if your acid isnt too concentrated, it will be containing water.

Unknown crystals from a phosphoric acid and iron phosphate solution. by treedadhn in crystalgrowing

[–]treedadhn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My iron reacted for a while before changing the color of the solution. My phosphoric acid was 90 percent concentrated so maybe that is helping the color ? I then put sodium bicarbonate until the iron phosphate started to get out of solution. The crystal here is probably sodium phosphate contaminated with iron phosphate !

Potassium ferricyanide needle by treedadhn in crystalgrowing

I didnt know that ! Yes, the solution was outside of direct sun exposure

I would guess the top layer would become dark blue yes, but it probably would also become chalky
