Watering Plants With Iced Tea?

I don't know for sure but I've done it for years and the plants in my kitchen do much better than the ones upstairs on the windowsill. I don't put sweetened tea on them, but if there's tea left in the pot, cooled, I use it every time.

I've read about this, but don't remember exactly what nutrients they get from the tea.

My mother taught me years ago to feed my plants every 2 months, with a tablespoon of sugar per gallon of water. I have always had beautiful healthy flourishing plants. I keep the date circled on my calendar. Old wives tale? No!! It truly works!

Also, not moving my plants around, like from room to room. Plants like a home of their own. I turn them every Sunday when I water them. And discard any dead or weepy leaves. That's all! I love my plans and my plants love me!
