Do plants grow bigger if watered by water or milk?

Do plants grow bigger watered with milk, water or Coca-Cola?

• Answer:

  On One Hand: Water works best.Watering a plant with Coca-Cola or milk exclusively is a good way to kill the plant or ensure that it doesn't germinate. The concentration of sugar in Coke and other solids in milk creates a hypertonic solution, which will cause the root cells to lose water, and the plant will likely wilt quickly. Both also have enough sugar content to promote excessive bacteria and mold growth, which could also overwhelm the plant.On the Other: Milk may be beneficial.Milk has natural enzymes which, in the appropriate concentration, inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold. When used in conjunction with water, milk has been shown to combat various types of diseases and fungi that can damage the plant, helping to ensure the plant's health.Bottom LinePlants watered with exclusively with water will grow much bigger than those watered exclusively with milk or Coca-Cola. The latter two contain too-high concentrations of solids, which, like salt water, will leach the water from a plant's roots, most likely causing it to die. A small amount of milk mixed into a plant's water occasionally, however, can in some cases be helpful.Source:http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/plant-ed/1996-February/000470.htmlhttp://www.yougrowgirl.com/thedirt/2007/06/12/tomatoes-like-milk/On One Hand: On the Other: Bottom Line
