Can green tea help a plant grow?
My son is doing a science project and I was just wondering if anyone has every heard of a plant being grown using green tea instead of water.

I'm not sure about that, though I'm guessing it's true cause coffee grounds do the same thing.

The novel chemical compounds in Green Tea are called polyphenolics. You'll here all sorts of other terms thrown out there, but they're ALL under the family of polyphenols.
These chemicals are thought to provide a detoxifying effect in mammalian cells. To some extent, this is true.
In plants however, these compounds target nothing, and do nothing.
In a science experiment, IF the plant grown with tea performs better, I would say it's because of the inert matter in tea. This stuff is easily broken down in the soil and functions as a very weak, but steady source of nutrition (fertilizer).
So the short answer : NO.

green tea surly can be applied in plants mostly in indoors but this is not an alternative for water it might be alternate of manure or fertilizer bcause green tea is a produce of a crop which has onself produced in result of water apply so it would be wrong that it is used as alternate of water.

Well tea itself is mostly water anyway. The plant might grow better though if it has all the good chemicals from the tea available to it.

Well, when you prepare "Green Tea" u are adding water to it!. There is "Green Tea EXTRACT" which is a concentrate of the plant. The plant should just experience better filtration of the free radicals lol.
