Plants in space

1. Are there any plants?

As of now, there are still no naturally grown plants in space, but with the advancement of technology, there are still a lot of seeds transported by satellite, such as pumpkin, tomato, eggplant and other vegetable seeds, as well as some plant seeds. Because there is no gravity in space, their growth is not restricted, and genetic mutations may occur. The so-called space plants refer to these, not those that grow naturally in space. The seeds mutate in the environment above and are then brought back to the ground for screening and cultivation. This will yield better varieties and may increase the yield, so the price will naturally become more expensive.

2. What are they

1. Pumpkin: After space mutation, pumpkin varieties become very large in weight. Some can grow 7-8 pounds a day. They may also become deformed and have uneven color distribution.

2. Peppers: The peppers grown in the later stages become very long and much thinner than before.

3. Tomatoes: Ordinary tomatoes grow one by one and are not very tall. Space varieties can grow to the height of trees, and the yield per acre is greatly increased.
