Magnets and copper effect on plants

Anybody notice plants grow a lot more next to copper and magnets. I been trying this and notice a big jump.

I'll join your experiment by plopping a magnet from my fridge in with my pitcher plant in its pot in my windowsill.

This sort of folklore has been around a long time, and resurfaces on occasion. It's lovely to believe in but there's precious little hard evidence -- it's all anecdotal stories. I suppose I'm the resident skeptic. My garden plants are already bathed in a massive, dynamic magnetic field (Earth). Personally, it would take a rigorous double-blind study to convince me that little magnets and copper wires would measurably impact plant growth. My 2c.

Well I don’t know I’m just speaking on my intuition. From my experience as a plumber and water operator, a lot of old cisterns were lined with a sheet of copper. Copper was said to prevent algae and mold. I don’t have a true experiment per say but I started cuttings in two locations. One with magnets all around the pots and a small copper pyramid I made. The other pots are just control. Both by a window sill that gets afternoon sun.

The cuttings with the magnets are flying and thriving. In constantly filling with cup with water. The control hasn’t shown leaves yet at all, it’s been about three weeks. The paw paw was along with the magnets, she took a long while to sprout but she finally started showing leaves. That pawpaw mind you a very slow and steady plant.

I agree the earth is a giant dynamo, think about this…you have the whole ocean full of water. but you need to harness the water and refine it to use for what you need, you could increase or decrease the pressure etc. you see what im getting at?

I don’t have the answers or could prove to anybody that this is legit but these are things my intuition has guided me to.

You should check out an article called The Pyramid Greenhouse by Les Brown. I never utilized any of his findings or teachings but if they are legit man that’s something people need to know about especially farmers and gardeners.

I know if the plant is lacking in trace minerals, adding it to the soil gives a big boost.  Iron and potatoes are a good example.  Copper and magnolia is another.

Haven't tried magnets.  They don't seem to be made from iron so much these days. Might be worth experiments with some house plants.

I know some elders throw wheat pennies or a silver coin inside their pot or garden when the plant something. Wow yes. Also heard old timers throw iron nails and copper. I guess it's another way of obtaining them minerals.

I have had one report of a cell phone charger killing a plant,  when they moved the plant away from the charger ( inductive charger )  the plant came back...

Many many variables at play like the iron in the plant, the frequency of the magnetic field, how fast does the magnet cycle poles ( via a coil ) strength of field.        

Would be interesting to see the effect of magnets on micro organisms.

A quick search shows others have considered this idea...

Yea the poles are key. One pole is good for some and bad for others. I was into magnetic water. And certain pipes make the water good for some things and bad for others. I don't think we understand magnetism as we put to yet. I think there's more to magnetism just what we know now.

There is so much right before our eyes we don't see or understand.

I work with water...I been getting into a lot of dowsing. Man it's crazy what you could find and how the earth is connected.

I decided to participate in the experiment by putting a refridgerator magnet in with my pitcher plant.  So far it hasn't increased its growth pattern from how it was doing before (its still a baby plant, I mean it is about 3 in. tall with several "pitchers".  Chances are I'll leave it for a while and then move it to another plant to see if it helps that one instead, and if it doesn't work I'll probably put it back on the fridge, but everyone should keep experimenting with things.
