Ah, beta, the starch test. You boil the leaf in water to soften it, then in alcohol to remove the green colour. After this, you put iodine on it—if it turns blue-black, starch is present, meaning photosynthesis happened. But the leaf needs light first, ji; keep one in a dark cupboard as your control. It reminds me of my methi plants, which struggle in the shade of the neem tree—no light, no food, just like that.
