<p>Thanks Jaden I had herd that it grew a cm an hour and it surprised me. My mom is relived that it does not grow that fast. I appreciate you accurate, good advice!</p>

<p>Hello, I think it depends on what strain/breed you have.<br/>I have ordered some sclerotia from Scientio.<br/>And it grows very fast. I would say 1 cm/h is underestimated. I'll have to measure to be certain. <br/>I use tupperware pots 12 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm. The bottom filled with the oatmeal agar I told you about in an other thread. The bottom is covered completely in about 1 day. Then it looks as if it's thickening during 2 days and then it starts crawling up the sides. <br/><br/>Then I have various sizes of pots and lids with ordinary paper on which it grows a bit slower (I would say 1 cm an hour is about right) , but after a few days it will search a way out too.<br/><br/>Te largest container I have is an aquarium of 23 cm x 41 cm and 25 cm high. The bottom covered with agar agar (without oatmeal) and with some oats on the surface. It has been nearly 2 weeks now and it has explored the the entire bottom and all the walls completely. <br/><br/>So, I would say the container just depends on how much food you give it.</p> My fastest culture grows abou…tag:slimoco.ning.com,2014-08-21:3917201:Comment:209482014-08-21T20:56:26.927ZJadenhttp://slimoco.ning.com/profile/Jaden
My fastest culture grows about 2 cm a day. I don't know if slime mold gets quite that fast, but 1 cm an hour would be great to watch!<br />
<br />
A shoebox sized box would probably work just fine. The height doesn't matter too much, but the higher it is the longer it will take the slime to escape.<br />
I have grown some in some very small containers about 5 cm just fine however. I just have to scrape off the slime every day so it doesn't escape!
