There's an experiment you can try with any kind of plant. Put the plant in a dark closet, but coil a copper wire around it. Lead that copper wire outdoors and connect it to a copper plate that's placed in an area that would get a lot of sunshine. Supposedly, the solar energy would travel along the copper wire to the plant. And it will be as if the plant were outdoors getting sunlight!
