What happens when you don’t just water plants—
but support them with living microorganisms?
In our recent experiment in Grenchen, Switzerland, we set out to explore exactly that. The focus was on two sunflower plants—one treated regularly with Constructive Microbes throughout its growth cycle, the other serving as a control with no microbial application.
Experiment Setup
Location: Grenchen, Switzerland
Plant species: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)
Duration: May to June 2025
Conditions:
Both plants were placed in the exact same location with equal sun exposure.
Watering was done using rainwater only.
The test plant received a diluted Constructive Microbes solution (1:1000) every 3–5 days.
Results – A Side-by-Side Comparison
🌱 Plant with Constructive Microbes📍 Right pot (red)
Significantly taller growth
Strong, upright stem
Healthy, vibrant leaves
Early signs of flower development
Even spacing between leaf nodes
No signs of leaf disease
Excellent structural stability despite height
🌿 Plant without Constructive Microbes📍 Left pot (gray)
More compact growth
Smaller, partially curled leaves
Mild yellowing on lower leaves
Delayed flower development
Slight signs of growth inhibition

At the top of the page, you can see the direct side-by-side comparison of both plants. Below the photo, the top-down view of the leaves clearly reveals the differences in structure, size, and vitality.
Why Constructive Microbes Work
Our biological microbial solution combines lactobacilli, photosynthetic bacteria, and yeast cultures, which together:
Stimulate root development
Activate soil microbiology
Improve water retention
Enhance nutrient uptake
The microbe-treated sunflower clearly converted these benefits into visible biomass and healthier development.
Conclusion
This experiment impressively demonstrates how much plants can benefit from living microorganisms. The combination of microbial soil life and organic care leads to greater vitality, faster development, and better growth outcomes—without a single drop of synthetic chemicals.
This simple pot expirement proves a powerful truth: Soil strength doesn't come from fertilizer- but from the life within it.
