Whether you've got a green thumb or not, you probably want your houseplants to thrive. Besides fixing the reasons they might be droopy, try watering them with club soda to make your plants grow beautifully.
The reason why club soda is better than plain water for plants is it contains phosphate and other nutrients that enrich the soil and promote growth. In one study done at Colorado University Boulder, researchers found that plants given carbonated water had shoots that grew 170% of their original height, compared to just 67% for plants given tap water. The soda-fed plants also developed a healthier shade of green.
As Gardening Know How points out, however, you probably don't want to feed your plants regular soda (like Coca Cola), because of all the sugar.
