I seen a lot of people adding milk to their plants during the growing season. Wanted to see if anyone here on Greg, has tried it?

@jaysjungle @WickedValkyrie @tango @NewGrowth everything I’ve read today about it lol are for gardens, but I seen on instagram like jay said people using it on house plants, I believe “plantberd” was one, but I’m curious to try it at least on one of my plants this spring. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried it and what are the ratios they use, because I don’t believe it’s straight milk.
I believe anything that isn’t water shouldn’t be used to water plants 🤣🤣 but milk? Is it diluted and mixed with water? Other ingredients?
I’ve read (on FB) of people suggesting others to water with vinegar, clear soda, a little dash of liquid detergent (to kill pests??), etc. These people came back a few days later posting about their plants dying.
Never milk 🤣

Lol this is such a weird ad that some of the *other plant apps* put out. Also seen mixing black pepper in the soil and using Mayo as leaf shine. @Kiersten and I love to giggle at these.
For the record there's no reason to water with milk. Or add black pepper to your soil. Or to use Mayo as leaf shine. @jaysjungle @dreamlettuce @tango @WickedValkyrie @NewGrowth

@RJG @dreamlettuce I’ve heard of so many - rice water, banana water, Epson salt in water lol the MILK though has me wondering 💭 from the video it looks diluted. So I think I’m going to try it 25/75 and see what’s happens, I’ll get a plant from the dying shelf at Walmart or Lowe’s and give it a go.
I’ve used milk In the garden diluted to get rid of white spots on zucchini or squash type leaves. It does work but that’s outside in a large garden on big leaves. I’ve been gardening for many years before I started caring for houseplants so I’ve tried all kinds of garden tricks. I’m not sure I’d use any of those on my indoor plants tho.
I never heard of it 😅 but reading up about it after a google search, it seems intriguing 🥲 I’m not sure I’d try on one of my plants personally, since I have a fertilizer/ plant food made for plants. I could see how something with some type of minerals would be more beneficial than water with no nutrients, but perhaps it won’t beat out a plant food made specifically for plants 🤔😅
@MsPlantAlot my mom had my grandmothers variegated spider plant. It used to be table centerpiece, steal the show huge when grandma had it. But she had a huge window that faced south and it got tons of light on the dining room table in that space. My mom put it near a west facing window and near a drafty door, in Iowa, all year long. Not enough sun, not a great consistent temp, and generally declining. What do I suggest? Milk. That poor 12 leaf spider plant was pale, droopy, and begging for help. The app said MILK so she added diluted milk. Twice. By the time she let me take it home to rescue it, it barely had enough good root left for me to rescue. The root rot was real, there was a huge white wormy critter alive living in the roots, and it smelled SO bad. Do NOT give your plants milk.
