Which type of plant grows best indoors in the fall/winter?

Are some vitamins dissolved in water poisnous to plants when given?

Are some plants not affected by "vitamin water"?

Hi!
Here is a list of plants that grow well in the winter:

In regard to the effect of vitamin water on plant growth, I think that vitamin water might actually harm plant growth. It seems like only Vitamin C actually enhances plant growth. However, you might want to check out the following websites for more information:

Here is a similar project to yours which might help you get started on your experiment:

Hope this helps, good luck!

Hello,

I'm just curious. Are you using the vitamin-enriched juice/water brand: Vitamin Water? Or are you actually dissolving, say a multi-vitamin, tablet, in water and then giving it to plants? This topic is interesting.
