I heard that people sometimes put a penny in the water with tulips. I'm curious about the reason behind this practice. Does it benefit the tulips in any way or is it just a superstition? I would like to understand the purpose of putting a penny in tulips.

Copper acts as a fungicide, which means it has the ability to kill fungi and bacteria.

When a penny is placed in water, the copper gradually leaches out and can help to sanitize the water and vase environment.

It's worth noting that not all pennies are created equal in terms of copper content. Only pennies made before 1982 have 95% copper in them.
