I presume you are going to use these for snail control. Please let us
know how well it works.

Thanks deg! Yes, I was going to try them for snail control. Any idea how
I'd create the experiment? Isolate a bunch of bush snails, dunk them in
caffeine water vs plain water, time how long they take to die? Isolate a
bunch of bush snails, place them on filter paper laced with caffeine vs
plain filter paper, time how fast they crawl away? Trust me, I got a ton of
bush snails to try this with.

Or forget the science, and just water the orchds with caffeine water and
report the results, *G*

Now don't pooh-pooh watering with coffee. A friend of mine for years watered
her orchids with the leftover cool coffee from breakfast. She didn't fertilize
and she certainly didn't have any snails (windowsill grower), but her orchids
always bloomed better than mine! :-)
