What would happen if you bullied a plant for 30 days straight?
IKEA decided to test it out to help raise awareness around Anti-Bullying Day on 4th May in the Middle East
They placed two of their plants in a school
Where one plant was fed compliments and words of encouragement
While the other was verbally bullied with hateful words
Both plants were treated strictly the same
They both received the same amount of water, sunlight and fertilizer
The end result speaks for itself
Watch this video to see the experiment in detail:
