アルコールでスイセンが倒れなくなる?
A Cornell University horticulturist(園芸学者) found that giving some potted plants diluted(希釈された) alcohol -- whiskey, vodka, gin or tequila -- stunts(成長を妨げる) the growth of the stem but does not affect the blossoms. As a result, the houseplant does not get tall enough to tip over(倒れる). Beer and wine failed to produce the effect, probably because of their sugar content. The study focused on paperwhite narcissus(スイセン) and other daffodils(ラッパスイセン), but there were also promising results with tulips.
