Watering with Lipton's? Male
Default Watering with Lipton's?
Hey everyone -
In a recent a university alumni magazine, they interviewed a long time collector who had started a large college orchid collection. He recommended that you water orchids with brewed tea - just as you would use for iced tea. He stated that the tannic acid that is found in tea strengthens and protects (?) orchids. I can understand that it would increase the acidity and probably give some trace minerals, but has anyone else heard of this? I have been growing for 30-some odd years and have NEVER heard of anyone using brewed tea for their orc's.
Any ideas or input on this?
Steve
