Not that I've heard.

Many hydrangea strains will have different flower colors, depending on the aluminum content of the soil. When there is available aluminum, the flowers will be blue. When there is no available aluminum, they'll be pink. This doesn't work for white hydrangeas.

You can add aluminum sulfate, which is available at most garden centers, to turn pink flowers blue. In order to turn blue flowers pink, raise the soil pH by adding a liming material, and the aluminum will form insoluble compounds and no longer be available to the plants.

Do pennies in soil effect plant growth?

No, pennies do not impact plant growth when buried in soil. The copper content in pennies is minimal and not at levels that would harm plants. In fact, the zinc coating on newer pennies may even benefit plants in small quantities.


What would be the expected effect on plants if the atmospheric co2 concentration was doubled?

Doubling atmospheric CO2 concentration is expected to increase photosynthesis rates and water use efficiency in plants. However, this may also lead to changes in plant growth patterns, nutrient availability, and interactions with other organisms in the ecosystem. Additionally, it could exacerbate the effects of climate change on plant health and distribution.


What do plants do to lessen the greenhouse effect?

Plants help lessen the greenhouse effect by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. They store this carbon in their biomass, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Additionally, plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which helps to balance the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.


How do plants and roots effect weathering?

Plants and roots play a role in weathering by physically breaking apart rocks as their roots grow and expand, causing root wedging. Additionally, plants secrete acids that can chemically weather rocks and minerals. Overall, the presence of plants and roots can accelerate weathering processes on rocks and contribute to soil formation.


How does soil pH affect flower color?

Well, if the soil is acidic then the flower would turn and pink/red colour. if the soil had alkali then the colour would change to blue. Gardeners use this to make Hydrangeas change colour. other colours are possible to make, it all determines the Ph of the soil.

technically an old wives tail but in theory if you put enough british pennies (copper) into the soil you would introduce a greenish colour to the hydrangea - although it would probably die from poisoning before the colour showed.
