Default Tea for houseplants - good idea?

My wife likes to save all tea left in the pot and give it to the

I get the feeling that they're slowly building up tea in the pots. (and
I'd rather just throw it away and keep the place a bit tidier!)


Too much tea may leave uncomposted residues in the soil and encourage
moulds and fungi.
