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? Students participate in a social experiment to educate people about the effects of bullying. #SayNoToBullying

What would happen if you intimidated a plant for 30 days in a row? Bully a plant, has been the subject of a live experiment with two IKEA plants and with thousands of children, to help raise awareness around the world on Anti-Harassment Day May 4th in the Middle East.

The experience involved IKEA taking two of its own plants and installing them at school, where one plant was fed with compliments and words of encouragement, while the other was verbally intimidated with hate words. Students were encouraged to record their own voices to share their love with the first plant and give critical words to the second, either live or via social media interaction. After 30 days, the results spoke for themselves while the complimented plant continued to thrive, the shy plant struggled visibly, and looked dull with droopy brown leaves.

Both plants received the same amount of water. Exposed with sunlight, water and fertilizer. We simply said words of criticism to one plant, and words of encouragement to the other, for a duration of 30 days. At the end of the experiment, the impressive results spoke for themselves.
