Author Garden: I think I may have killed my plants :-( sailchick9 Gardener Member # 7162 posted                       So I have a small collection of houseplants that I water according to a schedule, but this morning when I watered my plants I noticed that they smelled funny, until I realized that my roommate had put rum in my plant watering bottle not realizing that there is a reason I took the label off of it. I have a jade plant, swedish ivy, and one little mystery plant that I gave the tiny bit of rum to, but I'm afraid that it's enough to kill them. Any advice??? My other roommate is certain that they're all going to dehydrate and wither away, but I really hope they don't so please any advice would be helpful. If it matters, I'm pretty sure it was bacardi razz. -concerned college student Plants: 1 | From: US | Registered: Oct 2005  |  Seeded: 138.110.228.39 Will Creed guest posted                 LOL! What a waste of good booze! If it was a small amount, then there is probably no harm. To be on the safe side, flush lots of fresh water through each of the drunken plants. This should prevent plant hangovers! Seeded: 24.215.241.27 tkhooper Official Blabber Mouth Member # 4875 posted                       lol, that's a new one. I second Will Creed he's a genius. * * * * Plants: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Seeded: 4.249.150.7 Will Creed guest posted                 Careful, Tammy. Comments like that can get you in trouble around here! But thanks for the compliment.

I agree with Will, I really don't think there is any need for concern. The alcohol should evaporate pretty quickly leaving just some water and sugars behind neither of which should harm the plant. * * * * Mike Maier aka The Plant Doc Plants: 1592 | From: Wisconsin | Registered: Sep 2003  |  Seeded: 68.113.252.70 FlowerNewbie Super Gardener Member # 7901 posted                       Yea, I have a friend who frequently waters her plants with the last of her beer bottle... lol... they love it! * * * * Kitten in Life , Tiger in Love Plants: 604 | From: Boston, MA | Registered: Feb 2006  |  Seeded: 24.128.55.45
