Chemistry experiment 54 - Growing a Crystal Tree (time-lapse)

This video is a time-lapse movie of a growing ''crystal tree'', also known as ''magic tree'', ''salt tree'' etc. These kits can be found in most gadget or toy stores or can be purchased online. Time-lapse contains approx. 8 hours of footage.

He's back!

[@lukemyers1620]

Yay you're back!

Wat mooi zeg!!!!

[@shaikhimran453]

awsome

[@eunaekim9216]

Unlike most things in this kind of video, it's okay to try this at home.

Cool

Chemistry Lab it's not real I mean hello? ever heard of a growing Crystal tree?

[@SuperRinkagamine02]

My Jolly Me It's real but it is not an actual tree and it does not grow. It is a result of a chemical reaction.

[@sjoerdnijnatten3411]

no its not the ammonia evaporates and the salt cristalizes the salt chemical propertys does not change so it means that it is not an chemical reaction it is just evaporation.

[@sjoerdnijnatten3411]

umm hello i know but it is just cool to see

[@SuperRinkagamine02]

Chemistry Lab Okay, my bad. I did not search the process so I assumed it is. It is actually as what you said.

[@savithaanjana3118]

What is the package

[@vigneshkr7072]

What kind of salt is that ? Does not look like table salt.

[@sarun25141]

it's not salt, it's crystal

[@vigneshkr7072]

@@sarun25141 salts are crystals. And in the discription it is described as a salt tree. I have grown salt crystals before. Mainly copper sulphate and sodium chloride each having its own distinct crystalline structure.

[@vigneshkr7072]

@@sarun25141 yeah got my answer in other comments, its potassium phosphate, a salt.

[@sarun25141]

@@vigneshkr7072 i know that

[@datway_psycho6303]

are u talking in this??????

[@lesliezavalza5438]

I know this because I've already try it

[@verolay7254]

Really so could you tell how to make the coral solution?

[@rickyadam8307]

This is not CRYSTALS

[@kiran4306]

Is the video real

[@vigneshkr7072]

Yep, its salt crystalisation from a coral solution using any type salt of your choice..wait I think it only works on some salts I dunno. I have only tried it with copper sulphate.

[@SuperRinkagamine02]

I once bought something like this in our school out of curiosity but its label is in Chinese. I tried what was shown on the package but after a day nothing is happening so I threw it away thinking I was conned and it might only be toxic chemicals for all I know.

[@samwiki8531]

It's just Potassium phosphate, just that simple

[@buckstarchaser2376]

@@samwiki8531 From the video and all the comments... You provided the only educational tidbit. Thank you. ...also, potassium phosphate is probably quite welcomed by plants, if watered down first.

[@TheAyto4aces]

It takes way more than 1 day

[@nugget6635]

It is just a salt solution. But probably not table salt.
