7) Grow Beautiful Roses

Did you know? The tannic acid in tea leaves lowers the pH of the soil, preventing fungus around the base of plants. One bush in particular that benefits from this treatment is the rose bush. Placing a used tea bag (or the leaves) in the soil after pruning the plant will help it grow more succulent roses.

Few people like the task of washing dishes because it can be a chore to scrape off the previous evening’s leftovers. Thankfully, tea bags can help do the work for you by de-griming dishes before you wash them. Just soak dishes overnight with a few tea bags, and when you wake up, they’ll be easier to clean.
