What are some of the weirdest things you've fed your plants?

So, what are some of the weirdest things you've fed to your plants?

I just fed my Cephalotus a tonsil stone that I just gagged up.

 

[limeslide]

Pieces of my skin.

"I've given you sunlight
I've given you rain
seems you're not happy
'less I open a vein
I'll give you a few drops
If that'll appease
Oh please, grow for me"

 

[lizasaur]

I don't care what anyone says, boys are definitely the oddest creatures out there

 

[Dexenthes]

Yeah, wolf.... That's pretty friggin hardcore.

I hate to admit that I am beaten by leagues of weirdness here!

I'm drawing a serious blank here...I guess I haven't been very experimental in this realm.

Probably the weirdest thing I've fed a plant was a pupa that I found in the moss. I cut it open with my knife as it was squirming. Yellow goo came out and I fed the insides to a Drosera. It ended up burning the leaves.

freeze dried blood worms.. but that's normal for these parts.

Um..... you win!

 

[SirKristoff]

the tonsil stone? seriously? gross haha....


the only thing i feed my plants, and i only feed a few (drosera, cephalotus, baby neps)
is betta fish food pellets....

Umm did you really have to revive this topic by a making a new one...

 

[dionae]

Its had the taste of human blood...now its a maneater.

I don't see what's wrong with a tonsil stone. It's just calcified puss (the plant will enjoy all the dead white blood cells).

Weirdest thing.....I gave a bunch of CPs squirrel blood once....only a small drop for most, several drops for the neps.....seemed to improve growth on most of them, especially the neps.

 

[TheFury]

WTF!! Diets of blood and pus? I think y'all missed Halloween by a few months. LOL!

Nah, the weirdest I ever got was collecting long-dead bug exoskeletons from a ceiling light fixture and feeding them to my VFT. Other than that, just the usual freeze dried blood worms. I lose.

I have a friend that can sing that entire movie by heart.

I gave her a couple Drosera Capensis to introduce her to the real thing and she's hooked. Even bought an ant farm with a supply of ants for food

Can't say I've heard of anyone actually feeding their plants blood though...

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

How 'bout going vegan? I've fed my Droseras walnuts, pinto beans, avocado, coffee grounds and Boca Burger. They loved all but the coffee grounds (the leaf curled backwards, LOL!).

 

[SDCPs]

Feeding? BAH! If my plants want food they've got to catch it.

 

[quogue]

Boogers. My Regia seem to love em... especially the big, slimy ones

 

[jimscott]

I didn't recognize the lyrics (Little Shop...). I just googled them.

 

[Devon]

this thread is kiiiinda gross. lol.

The weirdest thing I've fed my plants is just.... hmmmmm.... fish food?
