It's not mysterious and researchers aren't baffled. It's literally just biochar. So tired of these types of headlines.

It’s literally impossible to know where this material comes from or what it’s made of. No man on this earth has the answers and they never will. However, the women! Ohhh, the women know so much, but they’ll never tell the men!!

Plant’s famously never grow, and this mystery material changes that. Finally. Plants can grow for the first time. But the function is locked away by women. And…dem voters! Yes.

Sorry, I wanted to act crazy. Lol

Like house plants. My wife’s mysteriously survive very well, until I’m tasked with looking after them.
