Could a Plant Grow on MARS? (Phyllostachys aureosulcata...?)

[@earthplants]

Fascinating exploration of growing plants on Mars! The possibilities for future space farming are endless. 🌱🚀

Thanks! Yes I think that's true. We mainly need to get the O2 content of Mars' atmosphere up, I think.

Main issues you have on Mars are less the temperature and the CO2 levels and more the lack of magnetic field, as well as just how thin the atmosphere is. These are interrelated, of course, as a lack of magnetic field means the solar wind scours off Mars' atmosphere faster than it could be replaced. Terraforming efforts would need to address this problem before any other-- though there would also be the matter of toxins in the Martian soil that would need to be sequestered and removed, such as perchlorates.

Vivax would prob be the best. or red margin these are the most vigorous especially red margin but vivax get auite a bit bigger. If u want a aursulcata go with spectabilis since spectabilis is the most hardy type of yellow groove

Thanks for watching, and your suggestions.
