Why it worked

The video leverages a visually striking and counter-intuitive natural phenomenon (walking on water) to capture attention. The demonstration of the Victoria Water Lily's strength and buoyancy is inherently fascinating and shareable.

Summary

The video showcases the Victoria Water Lily, highlighting its incredible strength and buoyancy. It demonstrates how the large lily pads can support significant weight, allowing people to stand on them, and explains how their structure keeps them afloat.

Product placement

Victoria Water Lily: it ACTS by supporting significant weight on its surface, allowing people to stand or sit on it. Removing it would change what happens in the video.

Transcript

Just imagine a leaf that doesn't sink even if someone stands on it. Its name is the Victoria Water Lily and the largest and strongest leaf in the world. So it can support a weight of 60 to 70 kilos when it is fully grown. It can spread up to three meters across the water's surface. Its edges are slightly turned up to keep the water out, allowing its to maintain its balance and stay afloat. Have you ever seen a plant this powerful before?
