Bleach is very toxic if not properly diluted, and can easily kill any plant. But, when added to water (about 3 table spoons to 1 gallon, OR what ever brings the PH levels to a neutral reading ) can actually help plants in many ways.

First by balancing the PH, it helps the plant to avoid many types of nutrient lock-out, witch is caused when the alkine and acid level are too far out of balance and the plants vessels ( veins ) "clog" with the excess, reduceing the plants ability to move water and nutrients to its leafs. This is often fatal to plants

Bleach also contains several minerals that the plant need to grow, but only in trace amounts.

Bleach can also help reduce bacteria in the soil. This can be a good thing and a bad thing, depending on what plants your growing and where you are growing them

Yes. Bleach contains phosphates and nitrates. Even though phosphates are needed by the plants, excess phosphates are not good for them.

Bleach affects plant growth by killing plants. They will no longer grow due to the strong effects of bleach on the growth process. Bleach also depletes nutrients in the soil.
