It is this hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it so much more effective than tap water when given to plants. With the increased levels of atmospheric pollution, however, greater amounts of H202 react with air-borne toxins and never reach the ground. To compensate for this, many farmers have been increasing crop yields by spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide (5 to 16 ounces of 35% mixed with 20 gallons of water per acre). You can achieve the same beneficial effect with your house plants by adding 1 ounce of 3% hydrogen peroxide (or 16 drops of 35% solution) to every quart of water you give your plants. (It can also be made into an excellent safe insecticide. Simply spray your plants with 8 ounces of 3% peroxide mixed with 8 ounces of white sugar and one gallon of water.)

hydrogen peroxide and plants
Oh my sugar i'd have ants in Florida coming from every where. lol But when I have it I put it into my Av;s plant water. Helps them breath better too !
Allison, I think that when sugar is mixed with peroxide, it loses its taste so ants do not feel attracted to it.
that's different someone try it !
Not me! I've tried to many new things this year. I'm going to be old and set in my ways for the next two months!!!!
yes i keep things simple but like lookng at other's exspriments :))
Well, I know that peroxide is good against rotting so, I will use it in my next batch of leaves. I am going to get it and experiment on insects. will you tell you my findings soon!!!
I do use and have used when I have it lol peroxide for past two years. The first girl I bought plants from on Ebay had wonderful plants and she used it and told me about it ! It helps your plants breath better and this is important !
