Water will most likely....A little bit of sugar in water won't be bad, but too much, will feed bacteria in the soil, possibly damaging the plant, thus killing it.

I think that is the reason why for the experiment, water turned out to prolong the life.
I added 4 teaspoon of sugar in 1 litre of water
