Dry tea leaves can be added to the pot if you are sure that the components contained in it will not cause harm.
Black, green and herbal tea are suitable as a supplement - the main thing is that it does not contain additives or inorganic fragrances.
It is also important to remember that flowers may need acidified soil - check with litmus paper.
