weak tea is good for plants..also ground up egg shells is very good for plants...
Reply:Really hot tea would cause shock and root damage. Cold tea in small doses would be harmless to most pot plants and large shrubs.
Reply:Nothing, usually. But if the plant prefers basic soil, the tea could cause it to go into shock making it droopy, maybe even browning a bit. This is the worst case scenario, and it will only cause this if it is a delicate plant. I cannot see any way it would cause it to die unless it is a venus flytrap (one of the pickiest plants in the world)
Reply:the tea will provide organic nitrogen. the only flower i know of that gets screwed up by nitrogen is a daffodil, (messes up the bulb process or something). Tea is fine for most plants.White Teeth
