No. In typical science experiments, this will kill most plants if used in place of plain water.

- The solute level of Dr Pepper is too high for most plants to absorb the water efficiently, unless it breaks down in the soil or other media. There is also phosphoric acid which can alter the PH of the soil, harming plants that prefer alkaline soils.

- A small amount of the soda might be tolerated by some plants if enough pure water is present. But there is a strong likelihood that the sugars will foster harmful bacterial or fungal infestations in the soil.

- The suggestion that plants could absorb the sugar-water of Dr Pepper is flawed, because plant osmosis takes in only water and minerals, and the plant must make its own sap.

Additionally, the sugars and other ingredients in the drinks contribute to their overall density, making them less dense than water.


Does pepper help plants grow?

I am an elementary teacher and funnily enough we have just studied plants. We conducted investigations into sustaining plants and different methods of enhancing growth. We concluded that pepper mixed with water actually had a negative effect on the plants, however, carbonated water and sugared water actually gave some surprising results. The only positive affect I have heard pepper having is if you mix a very small amount with water and wipe it on the leaves - this will actually deter mites or bugs eating the leaves without actually hurting the plant.
