I've read about grounding potted plants and the results seemed too good to be true so I tried to replicate the experiments myself.
On May 31st 2022 I bought several sunflowers from a flower shop and I made sure they were identical in size and shape. They were probably several days old already but they were all from the same lot. I put them in individual bottles of plain tap water as follows:
Flower 1: plain tap water nothing else serving as control
Flower 2: plain tap water + copper wire connected to the ground through the wall outlet
Flower 3: plain tap water + a piece of copper (I added this 3rd flower a couple hours later as a second control because simply having a piece of copper in a vase of flowers will make them last longer; copper slows down bacterial and fungal growth and it would have been a confounding factor because the grounding wire is also made of copper)
