CaffeineMinerals like potassium are often found alongside caffeine when it occurs in plant sources like coffee beans, and that could help the plant grow faster. But the caffeine itself would be unlikely to have any affect on the plant's rate of growth.

I tested it and the plant grew at normal rate but the leaves were more wrinkly and browner

Answer 2:Caffeine does not do anything to a plant directly. But caffeine is used by many plants as an natural insecticide which paralyzes any poor insect unlucky enough to start eating the plant. Larger mammals and primates like humans find it has a minor stimulant effect but in higher doses it acts like the intended insecticide effect, causing tremors, extreme anxiety, muscle problems, tachycardia, and sometimes death. Yup, caffeine is just a insecticide that is mildly stimulating. Kind of how they used to use strychnine as a stimulant.

Although you can use either a thin or thick layer of coffee grounds, make certain you do not cover the grass to the point that water is repelled. Watch out for gophers that might be attracted to your coffee grounds fertilizer. On the plus side, earthworms will also be drawn to your unique fertilizer.Since earthworms have the ability to eat enough in a 24-hour period to equal their body weight, your lawn will benefit.

Probably not, because plants grow from water and are used to that. Coke with its chemicals may kill it!

Can soft drinks help plants grow?

Coke Does Not Help Plants!I honestly don't believe Coke or any other soft drink is beneficial to the growth of plants. IN ADDITION:The water in the cola is the only thing beneficial. The sugar in the cola will attract insects to it, so no help there. The acid in the cola is beneficial to the soil but not in enough quantity to make any difference other than combined with the sugars it will start premature decomposition of the mulch and other groundcover. A soft drink is a good compost starter as a decay activator in a compost pile but not very beneficial to a plant in general. Some plants grow well with ginger ale poured into the ground near them.Coke is very acidic and will kill plants. Coke will dissolve a copper penny. Coke will also help to loosen up rusty nuts and bolts.A lot of soft drinks are very acid, not just coke, and will kill pants.
