Apparently when you dissolve 2 ingredients in water with food colouring, it can produce crystals! So I obviously tried it 🙃 There are two ingredients that help plants grow big and fast. So I took those two ingredients and experimented to see if instead of growing plants, i could grow crystals. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. I got this peacock and I dipped the edges in food colouring. Then I added those two ingredients that help plants grow at the base of my peacock - potassium and phosphorous. When I mixed them together with water, they dissolved and then the liquid started to climb up the peacock, which is actually a process called capillary action, you can compare it to the way plants drink water from their roots up through their stems to give the leaves more life and to help them grow! Once the liquid was done climbing the peacock, it evaporated and that’s when I began to see little tiny bits start to stick together and crystallize, forming what we know as crystals! I learned that when you dissolve potassium phosphate in water together with a food colourant, it can produce beautiful crystals that match the shape the form on! So…not only did we grow crystals but we also learned that there actually is a way to make plants grow bigger and stronger. Cool, huh? #crystals #grow #cool #science

I wanted to know if peppers can actually grow in just 2 months, so I tried it🫑🌶️
