Story summary
  • Placing a penny in a plant pot does not improve growth or health.
  • A test showed no difference in plant growth between pots with pennies and those with standard fertilizer.
  • Modern pennies contain little copper, and older coins corrode too slowly to be effective.
  • Instead, use a proper balanced fertilizer for better results.
