Education/Credentials I am not a hortculturist. I am a Purdue University Master Gardener for over 20 years. I have studied plants on a personal level by growing hundreds of plants annually for the last 35 years. I have also studied under several nationally known American Bonsai experts.
Question Hey, I'm doing a school project and I'd like to know if you know of a plant that will grow quickly and react to extra salt in a negative way. If it's usually available for cheap, that's an added bonus, I don't want to go broke for this project, and I need about 6 of these.
Thanks in advance

Answer Dan,
Most houseplants are tropical plants and will react negatively to salt. I've noticed a lot of African violets for sale lately for around $2.00 each. They should have the negative reaction that you are looking for. Good luck.
