According to the inorganic chemistry book, Prussian blue is the same as Mrs. Stewarts blueing.

Oh no! Did you use ammonia? It definitely speeds the crystals growth up. If you need crystals in a pinch try these: https://babbledabbledo.com/science-for-kids-crystal-garden/

I have done this project twice and am passing a week and crystals are still not growing (maybe five tiny crystals)??

Please help! We picked this project for my daughter and its due soon.

In reply to keke. The ammonia evaporates so I don;t think it would be an issue. Ammonia is also used for cleaning so I don't think your school would have an issue with it. You can always ask first :)

Check the materials list for the complete ingredients list. Bluing is the only ingredient that may be hard to find outside of the US. I don’t know of an alternative. You can try making Epsom Salt crystals if you can’t find bluing: https://babbledabbledo.com/science-for-kids-crystal-garden/
