Does Pepsi work better for the growth of plants than water?

Answer 1

I had an unbloomed daffodil that was cut at the stem and was placed in a can of pepsi. The end of the stem became brown and the stem contracted about 50% about mid way down from the center. a day later the flower bloomed and seemed fine. I am far from a gardner, but my best guess would be that the plant contacted its cells to the point that it would only take in smaller molecules like h20. Kinda like reverse osmossis. Plants have evolvled longer than humans, so I am not at all suprised. As far as the nutrients it may have gotten from the pepsi, that is way above my head.

Answer 2

I have tried it with a school experiment. 2 plants were fed 8ml of water each day 2 were fed 8ml of water and salt each day 2 were fed 8ml of water and 2 drops of food colouring each day and 2 were fed pepsi. and as you might of guess pepsi did the best. it started to sprout after just 3 days while the water took 2 weeks. At the end there was such a big difference between all the plants with the pepsi way in front. So the answer to your question is yes pepsi does work better on plants. why? i have no idea.

Answer 3

A plant can be watered by Pepsi soda but just in one condition do not put a lot of it or it will drown. That happened to me. I put a lot of Pepsi on a plant and it drowned. i watered the plant with milk and Pepsi but the milk killed my plant and the Pepsi plant was still alive so we can water

the plant with Pepsi soda

Answer 4

Diet Pepsi does have some phosphorus content which can be used to fertilize plants (although there are certainly less expensive ways of doing that).
