Growing Crystals

In my garden I have two medium size plants.I sprinkled one of them with the solution prepared by my science teacher. There were three solutions: the first one was made of sugar and water, The second one was made of salt and water, and the third one was made of borax and water. I used the mix of all three of them. On the first day,in my garden very few crystals have appeared. Crystals appeared on leaves of the plant that sprinkled by the solution. The crystals were small but very nice, and surprisingly grew on a real leaf. it took 24 hours for the crystals to form, and it is predicted that crystals will continue to grow. Today I sprinkled the second plant and i will check on it tomorrow. Yesrday I have also sprinkled the soil and the plastic flowers with the same solution but i haven't noticed any changes yet. It was also interesting experimenting with the colors of our crystals by adding the food coloring.
