For an extra cool twist, split the stem in quarters and have each quarter in different colours. An ice cube tray helps with this. You get the most amazing effect!

@24CooCar 11 лет назад

Its called the capillary action water goes up small tubes in the plant

@Dennis060796 11 лет назад

I did this with blue and red food coloring and it turned out amazing! The middle had a sliver of violet :) LOVE YOU GUYS!

@WTFtoucan17 11 лет назад

The Xylem transports the water using a capillary action to the flower, but the water is not circulated creating a half and half effect.

@emmaboakes9360 9 лет назад

I'm doing this at school I can't wait to see what happens to mine

@peckgia777 12 лет назад

I think this works because flowers absorb water, whether colored or clear. So, when you split the flower in half and put one half of the stem in the vase with the red water and the other half into the vase with the clear water, the water was absorbed by the flower. Having only one half of the stem receiving the red water, only one half of the flower turned red. The other half stem absorbed the clear water, thus keeping a normal flower.

Transpirational pull is the suction by the plant roots(or stem in this case) on the water due to transpiration(like perspiration) in the upper parts of the plants through the mechanics of water surface tension the coloured water is absorbed through the stem and brought up to the flower due to transpirational pull and colours the part of the flower it corresponds to (the red stem's half)

@Lergan 12 лет назад

How does this happen? Since plants need water to live, the two glasses, (one filled with regular water, one with red food-colored water,) had the water to support the plant's growth. In addition, food coloring does not have any harmful chemical substance to hurt or kill the plant. After a few days of experimenting, the plant did need water to support its growth, so half of the plant, (split ends,) absorbed the red which went to one side, and the regular water went to the other side of the plant.

@sickscience 11 лет назад

Keep a look out for that experiment in the future.

@ICONicprincess143 13 лет назад

Because when the flower takes up the water to drink it goes up to the petals. I tried this at school.

@iloveanime654 12 лет назад

the carnation sucks up the water from both cups, and the food coloring water goes to one half of the petals, and colors them

@maribakumon 13 лет назад

as the plants cells absorb the water for its purposes but it also absorbs the food coloring which is shown in the leaves or flower

@jocax188723 13 лет назад

Well, The xylem in the stem of the flower, which are like blood vessels, except smaller and bunched together into small groups, suck the water up because of capillary effect. Capillary effect is when the water, and whatever is in it, in this case, food coloring, gets sucked up a narrow tube. This occurs because of the unusual polar properties water actually has. The fluid travels up the stem and into veins in the respective bunch's petals, making them red.

@lucidies 13 лет назад

wow cool! could you do this with both vases having color in them? how would it turn out that way?

@WesBullock 12 лет назад

The xylem tubes in the stem absorb the water in the beakers. After the stem was cut to half, each stem was put into different beakers, one beaker was filled with red water and the other was filled with plain water. Half of the xylem tubes were in the red coloured water, therefore half of the flower turned red.

@britybird4lyfe124 13 лет назад

the water feeds the flower and in that case the the water is red and it travels from the stem to the peatala and turns it pink since the flower is white and red + white = pink

@LoggedIntoMyWorld 12 лет назад

I think this has to do with capillary action. The plant needs water so it takes up whatever water it needs along with the pigmentation of the water. Often times flowers can become colored because of the type of soil for this reason. Am I right?

@sarahhitt445 13 лет назад

so the explanation is:the color of the water makes the color of the flower so, if you mix die with water and put a white flower in it that is the color it will change to

@LoisT 13 лет назад

@HEKODON white flowers will allow the colors to show more. but u can use any food coloring u want.

@nickz526 13 лет назад

The plant takes up water from the xylem by osmosis and because the xylem carries water to petals according to where the veins are (half and half) the petals get coulered in half

@MissMermaidSwag 12 лет назад

I did this in Kinder and I knocked down the vase and it smashed leaving food colouring all over me. It was SO embarrassing that I ran away!!

@Gunnardotson12 12 лет назад

the carnation absorbs the colored water and changes the plant color.

@Karissasue 12 лет назад

the flower needs water and takes the red water and feeds it to the petals and they turned red i think

@Paner91 13 лет назад

This is really amazing!

@bigphong 13 лет назад

The water goes into the stem and up to the leaves for it to come out, making the petals red from the water they're taking up. Simple O-o

@sickscience 11 лет назад

That is fantastic to hear! Thank you for sharing and is there anything you would like to see on our channel?

@leonardomafucci 13 лет назад

that's just some biology stuff becoz the xylem is responsible for water absorption so the color changes when food coloring is added

@Timathor 12 лет назад

You should try making each glass a different colour then it would be epic

@sickscience 12 лет назад

That's awesome! What color did she make the carnation?

@Rudy627 12 лет назад

Hey Spangler Science! I doubt I'll ever get around to testing this, so I'll just pick your brain. When you split the plant stem and you put each half in 2 glasses of water.... if you pick two colors that mix (Yellow & Blue for example) Would the colors mix in the petals? Or would you still have half blue and half yellow?

@laurenlella2396 12 лет назад

i think this happened because the valascure tubes in the plant suck up the water to drink and the water waz red so the rose became red

@s-7997 13 лет назад

We did this in our Biology class, only we used celery :))

@PeckJoellaJwps 23 дня назад

me too!

@abc123mell 13 лет назад

@TiFFANYSREYES yes cuz the two halves of the stem transport the water (or dyed water in this case) to two separate halves of the flower, so the colors wont mix

@aleahacouch1158 9 лет назад

I thought this was cool so i am actually doing this for a science fair project.

@123guineapigloveable 12 лет назад

YOU SAID HI !!!!! 0O0 thank you i'm a HUGE FAN AND I LOVE ALL YOUR EXPIRIMENTS THANK YOU

@ajsidloski 11 лет назад

Can you do more than one color?? Love this channel by the way

@anazreese5928 11 лет назад

ima do this with 2 different colors lol i like this one

@JuliaaF98 13 лет назад

we used to do this every year in school but with daffodils!:D

@iPlawksx3 13 лет назад

oooh ! i saw this in science class ! ;D

@ujiklman20 12 лет назад

now put food clouring in BOTH glasses

@Glitch88Gamers 12 лет назад

The stem sucks up the water witch makes half red and half white so the plant used photosynthisis

@sickscience 12 лет назад

hello there! Thank you for watching the videos. Do you have a favorite experiment, or one you would like to see done?

@momoj786 12 лет назад

plants need water to survive the water goes from the roots to the leaves science you left half in red and the other half of the stem in water it left half the plant red and the other wite

@themaskedcrusader 13 лет назад

Three Hoorays for Capillary Action!

@damonkrug 11 лет назад

If you were to put that colored end back into fresh water, would the color stay?

@bloopblerp 12 лет назад

Do you think that if I use tonic water instead of regular water it will make the flower glow?

@SCZMJGclub 12 лет назад

Double rainbow carnation all the way across the sky!!

@reimitsukumori7963 11 лет назад

I did the same experiment but without cutting the stem

@grand1011 10 лет назад

what about one side red and the other blue?

@TheWillster14 13 лет назад

its because of the dye in food coloring, water goes to stem, dye stain the petal, tada

@gyepaule 12 лет назад

We tried those experiments at school so fun

@TntTomPyro 13 лет назад

I've done it with four different colors that was great

@1Superzip 13 лет назад

@RoPWU just put some black dye in the water, it may be gray, if so try with more dye

@mistystarice 12 лет назад

I am trying this right now with the colors purple and green (:

@NINJApandaLOVE 13 лет назад

Will this work with just a carnation or can you use any white flower?

@8nwidth 13 лет назад

NO SURGERY ON FLOWERS!!!

@MrAdrian65150 12 лет назад

Are you killing it

@jewelpet55 11 лет назад

The flower drinks the water from the stem to the petals, and the more it drinks, it will change color

@DannLex 10 лет назад

can you use fabric dye and water if you dont have food coloring?

@Kriztastic 11 лет назад

I am totally going to do so many of these... Do I still need adult supervision if I'm already an adult? Can I call them spectateurs? THIS IS SO COOL

@rhenz0404 13 лет назад

XYLEM VEINS. VEINS ON THE STEM CAN SUCK WATER EVEN WITHOUT THE ROOTS.

@beauifulmelody8273 12 лет назад

i did this experiment for grade 3 :D!!!

@SolidArch 13 лет назад

how do you make a blue rose then? i heard you can't use a regular dye.

@pixymae 13 лет назад

we did this for halloween so they turned black and orange

@MsSuperChannel 13 лет назад

Ive done this before...except it was with celery, lol :)

@hl888 13 лет назад

Can you change the color in a plant with soil?

@1Superzip 13 лет назад

@TiFFANYSREYES yes and you can split the stilk in more then to, for more colours

@bmx28kenilworth 13 лет назад

now that is just cool

@melissahain6414 11 лет назад

It is because it goes right up the stem💐🌷

@animegirl2083 13 лет назад

now the real question is will it blend?

@Zenshiro14 13 лет назад

everyone did this for science class in 3-5grade lol

@KristjanSark 13 лет назад

what if i cut it in 4, would it still work or would the flower die?

@HeviRane 13 лет назад

Magic

@spacediva666 12 лет назад

Well the xeolym at he bottom kind of transferd it to the top

@thebluemadness 13 лет назад

Will it still work if the stem isn't cut?

@manoffire11 13 лет назад

Awesome

@andreasfr1 13 лет назад

would this work with 3 different colors? like blue, red and green?

@SimpleAnimeFan 12 лет назад

What if u split it into 4 pieces and had 4 different colors?

@xAllAboutMe 13 лет назад

I love it!

@courtnymeserve5462 12 лет назад

@stevespanglerscience can u show us a vid with both of the glasses with food coloring?

@TiFFANYSREYES 13 лет назад

can I put another color int the other glass so its two diffrent colors?

@ameskin 13 лет назад

Can you show how to grow a rainbow rose?

@Ivan.A.Churlyuski 10 лет назад

Im thinking of trying this on a live watermelon branch at start of melon creation with 100% freshly squezzed blueberry juice in a sort of hydroponic tank idea. Thoughts on results?
