Caffeine is a natural pesticide, it will paralyze many insects eating a plant.
It also is secreted from germinating coffee beans, it inhibits other seeds from germinating this gives the already germinating seeds a better chance of surviving.
Answer:
There are many folk-cures and hear-say remedies for growing plants, many if not most will end in weakening if not killing the plant, the best recourse is to know the plant, know what type of soil it likes, and what kind of nutrients it requires, (well balanced nutrient filled diet) the simple course of action would be: Plain water, Air, Sunlight [full/partial/defused] and a mild form of fertilizer, keeping in mind not to over water or under water.
Caffeine is produced by some plants in order to ward off predators (it is a toxin that is harmful to a number of animals and insects). The caffeine produced by plants does not help them to grow.
There is no real benefit gained from "feeding" caffiene to plants. Years ago, people used to mulch their spent coffee grounds into the soil around plants. Since the grounds don't have much nutritional value, this isn't done too much anymore.
Answer B:
Actually Caffeine does help grow plants. i did the esperiment and it worked althought it is moch better if you use pure liquid caffeine, the resuts will improve and he plant will grow about double its size!
Answer C: I recently did an experiment on this, and found the opposite of the outcome described in answer B. I used NoDoz pills (200 mg of caffeine each) and ground 4 in a bag, then added to half a cup of water, and fed to grass seed. They actually grew two times SLOWER. Maybe caffeine in moderation is fine, but an overdose can harm plants?
Answer D: Answer B is a troll. Caffeine harms plant growth. I have done an experiment about it.
Coffee grounds can be used to help lower the ph of soil. This is helpful when growing acid loving plants like blueberries and azaleas. It can also be used to change the color of hydrangeas blue. It is also used by many fishermen to attract earthworms.
yes the potassium speeds up plant growth causing it to grow faster and the caffeine kill bugs feeding on the plant. no the caffeine uses up all the calcium and absorbing it causing the plant to grow slower.
My daughter is working on a science fair project to find out if different liquids affect plant growth. She's using caffeine (coffee), milk, water and white vinegar. By the second night, the "vinegar" plant was nearly totally dried out; The "water" plant hadn't changed very much; neither had the "milk" plant. Surprisingly, the "caffeine" plant had become much taller and fuller! Her conclusion was that caffeine makes plants grow faster because it is a stimulant.
Yes, coffee grinds can certainly affect plant growth. Far from killing your plants, the coffee will stimulate plant growth. Coffee is high in nitrogen, an element essential to plant growth and a major ingredient in commercial fertilizer. You can either sprinkle the coffee grinds directly on to the soil, or add them to your compost bin or piles. If you add them directly to the soil, remember that coffee is also acidic, so you may also want to add something alkaline, or light brown leaves.
makes it die pretty much:(
--incorrect. Plants produce caffiene. It's a natural alkaloid. It inhibits seedling growth and kills insects. So, les weeds and less bugs. Now, ignore the previous advice and go put your coffee grounds around the base of your plants. It's VERY good for them, and earthworms LOVE to eat them!
Yes, caffeine is in fact harmful to plants. This is because caffeine typically contains sugar. One should always water their plants with plain water.
I can't tell you. it's a secret.
plants will grow in coffee grinds as long as it is mixed with soil
they will eventually die.
their are some myth that caffeine can affect plants bad or good
Some people swear by putting coffee grownds around their plants.
It was meant to be "how do caffeine effect you?".
It's not that there is anything in caffeine that kills plants, it is the caffeine itself. Caffeine is a toxin produced by some plants to ward off predators, but is lethal to plant cells when artificially introduced.
Caffeine has the effect of stimulating the cardiovascular response
Yes, Caffeine does effect the speed of typing..
effect caffeine on eye-hand coordination
the effect of caffeine is it keeps you awake and keeps the movement of the body 2 as faster
No, Alcohol in general contains no Caffeine. It actually has the opposite effect of Caffeine.
The effect that coffee has on plants varies. It can sometimes slow down the process of roots growing. However, it can act as an insect repellent when applied to mulch surrounding the plants.
A negative effect of a drug or aid in sport such as caffeine.
your momma destroyed the plants
