Bully A Plant: Say No To Bullying

Plants have feelings, just like people. So, what happens when you feed one plant with compliments and another with negative remarks? Watch how we got students involved in a social experiment to raise awareness on the effects of bullying. #SayNoToBullying

I've never bullied a plant but i started talking to my plants a couple months ago, giving them lots of attention and telling them how beautiful they were. The stems grew so many babies so quickly. I dont have a green thumb so to see my 3 plants flourish and grow with strength, i will continue to talk to them.

[puppycharms]

please tell me that they eventually spoke lovingly to the sad plant.

I just want to hug and comfort that bullied plant. 🥺

"IF IT AFFECTS A PLANT IT CAN DEFINITELY AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE"

I shall add fertilizer to my daily cereal then.

There is power in spoken word. No matter if it is to someone else, something else, or yourself. If you say you hate your ankles, they will remain weak or grow weaker. If you say you love them, they will get stronger. I know, I did this. I used to roll my ankles and sprain them a lot. Until someone told me this very powerful message. Be kind to everyone around you, including yourself.

This experiment is always telling, I've watched it replicated many times with similar results. It's a good lesson on bullying.

Not sure if I'm just emotional because it's 1am but when they showed the droopy bullied plant I was on the verge of tears... lol

All I can think about is when Crowley from Good Omens yells
" GROW BETTER!" At his plants

Am I the only one who is going to cry for the bullied plant

I have a 6 year old daughter and I recently told her that plants and trees talk to us and each other. She refused to believe me because as a 6 year old she is right about everything lol We walk to our local park atleast 4-5 times a week and I've made it a habit of talking out loud to all the plants and trees we pass. Didn't take too long for her to pick it up and make it fun. We walk past two large plants in particular. One looks like a huge truck drove through it so all of its long stems lay flat on the ground and most are dried out and brown. While the other is just fine standing tall. My daughter noticed as well as I and every time we'd walk past I wouldn't say it out loud but I'd tell it how beautiful it is and how sorry I was that it's all splayed out on the ground as such. Fast forward to this morning I decided to do my usual morning walk alone and BOTH plants have bloomed the most beautiful yellow flowers!!! Even the stems that lay flat on the ground! I'm so excited to show my daughter later 🤗

Reading the comments really surprises how negative everyone is. We all know how damaging hate and negativity is, and how empowering and healing love works. We all know it, nobody can deny it. So why all this hatespeech? Are you really that fond of pain and suffering? Because you sure as hell aren't brightening up anyones day with your comments.

The bullied plant looked soil dry as well compared to the loved one
Wilting leaves is also a sign of not being watered
I hope there was at least equal watering for these plants whilst "experimenting"

[diradosveta]

so it obviously was killing the plant but ikea continued the experiment? :D #saynotobullying? :D

What a beautiful experiment to display in school. Plants don't speak words but they feel energy. Positive words stem from positive energy and visa versa. This automatically made me think of the saying about planting seeds in the garden of your soul.

[taecookies]

this made me get up and compliment my moms plant in the living room 😭😭

[MarioG]

It actually works, I done the experiment at home fifth flowers, the one I was keep saying I love it grown and opened up immediately, the one I ignored didn’t even open. They been in one vase together

[markapsolon]

You have to water both plants... Not just

[lesliengo]

Plants don't understand words, but I believe they understand tone. It is like someone yelling at you in a foreign language. You don't khow the words, but you understand aggression.

1:33 I almost cried for the bullied plant.

[RogerRocks]

So why doesn't swearing at weeds kill them?
