Er, yes. Bleach will kill essentially any living thing when it is poured in an undiluted form onto it, or if it is swallowed in large amounts. Humans as well as small household animals can receive chemical burns from bleach when it comes in contact with skin. So be careful with bleach!

Bleach is mostly made up of sodium hypochlorite, which changes the pH level in the soil, locking up certain essential nutrients and creating an inhospitable environment for plants.

Yes, most plants can handle chlorine in very small amounts, it can be used to treat fungus in the soil. However, it must be very diluted and will kill the plant if too concentrated.

How does bleach affect plants?

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
