Question

Does rubbing alcohol affect plants?

Answer 1

Alcohol stunts the growth of plants when in the 4-6% range.

Cornell University, states “We think it simply might be water stress; that is, the alcohol makes it more difficult for the plant to absorb water, so the plant suffers a slight lack of water, enough to reduce leaf and stem growth, but not enough to affect flower size or flower longevity."
