• Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
    Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
    Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

And what could this be good for?

Hey guys!!! great day to you all. So I have been drinking black tea(bought a box for the whole year) and I was wondering, what could I use the leftovers of the tea bag for? Any suggestions, or just throw it to the trash? Thank you .
 
I put coffee grounds in my dirt and on top of dirt. I am sure tea could be used for the same thing..of course its gonna take a LOT of tea bags to make any difference.
 
Tea leaves contain all the big three nutrients, N-P-K, as well as some trace minerals.
Sprinkle the used leaves on the soil and gently scratch them in.
 
I use a weak tea solution from used tea bags to speed germination when using baggies or containers. Any leftover tea solution gets fed to various plants and they seem to like it, so maybe Oziam has something there.

Otherwise, excess tea bags go into the compost with the coffee grounds... :cool:
 
Chamomille tea is good for germinating difficult seeds
Black tea is a good source of manganese. Although there is usually lots of manganese in the soil, its often locked-up or not available to the plant at which time a foliar application can be beneficial
