Our house plants look fabulous! - kap - 05-24-2007
I got lazy one time and dumped a half cup of green tea into one of house plants. It has flourish beautifully. Since then whenever we don't finish our nightly herbal teas, we discard the left-over into these two potted plants. No more tap water nor plant food
Has anyone here tried this?

No. I keep trying to kill mine by withholding food and water, and they don't have the common decency to die.
I think plants like coffee, too, though. A woman I worked with would dump the remains of her coffee in her potted plant every night before she went home. It flourished.

I remember reading that some types of tea can work fairly well as plant fertilizer. It should be better than nothing but might not work on all plants.

Proof that tea is a close relative of swampwater ? :-)
These plants aren't "silk" ?
(I prefer the ones you only have to dust every now and then. )
Acid loving plants like coffeee. I dump the coffee grounds on the rhododendrons rather than in the trash.
