Is sugar water good for plants? This is a very interesting question and one that leads to all kinds of fun facts about plants.
Even more interesting is how this myth plays out on the internet. In most cases, popular gardening sites promote the myth, but in this case they tell you NOT to use sugar water for plants, except in special cases. They then give a variety of reasons why sugar water is bad for plants, but these explanations are mostly wrong. They are creating new myths with their explanations!
Many of these writers ignore basic plant biology or are unaware of the correct facts. I’m going to try and sort this thing out for you.
