  • Question
    What is the use in this project?
    Community Answer
    It is interesting in a bunch of ways. One is how inorganic matter can "grow and develop" just like live organisms, so maybe this is one way to explain the origin of life. Also, some areas of nanotechnology use this.

  • Question
    How long will this garden last, and which of the above mentioned salts are environment friendly?
    Community Answer
    The garden starts slowly, and it can last for more than a week, depending on the amount of solution and the amount of salts. If you want to wash your chemical garden down the drain, avoid copper sulfate and copper chloride, cobalt chloride and nickel nitrate.

  • Question
    Could I take the plants out of the solution? Would they survive?
    Community Answer
    It would be quite difficult to do this, as the chemical plants are not very rigid. They may break immediately once out of the solution.
