We’ve heard this before — “Talk to your plants and they’ll grow healthier”. IKEA UAE took it a step further in a “Bully a Plant” experiment to raise awareness around bullying. What happens to a plant it if gets bullied? That’s a question we want answers to.
It took two of its own Dracaena plants and installed them at the school. Both plants were played looped voice recordings but one received compliments and the other was verbally bullied with hateful words. The children took part in recording the compliments and negative words.
After 30 days, the bullied plant started to show signs of wilting. The complimented plant flourished.
As a control, both plants received the same treatment — the same amount of water, sunlight, and fertilizer. The only difference was the words they received.
Pretty amazing, right? Watch the video of the IKEA Bully A Plant experiment in full below.
