Alright, I need to assassinate my roommate's plants…

They sit on the window-sil and I can't close or open the window, and he won't move them, so I want to stealthily KILL THEM!!!

Here's the problem, I'm living in the dorms again, and I don't have many chemicals around… Anyone know anything readily available to slip in the water?

I want them to die hard-core!

And of course, some rep+ for cool/crazy/good ideas, that actually work to kill these stupid plants, without him knowing I did it.

edit:

From: Brain
BIG UPDATE!!!!

He brought ANOTHER plant in….
So now he freaking has THREE (3) of them!!!!

And the ones I have been salt watering for the last week are still going strong…

I think I need some more drastic methods, I might try to swipe some chemicals from the janitor….

Thanks everyone for all your support thus far.

over water them? better yet, put ALOT of fertilizer in em, that'll make em shrivel up n die. or alternativy you could light them on fire, or they could "accidentally be pushed off the window-sil" haha, only things i can think of :)

Those are all fine and dandy, but I want chemicals! :D
and he doesn't have fertilizer.
and over watering would take time, and I doubt the soil has the capacity to hold enough water long enough to drown the roots, and it would spill out the bottom all over the floor :p

Over watering seems like the most ninja. Lighting on fire is the most pirate.

Super salty water is also pretty ninja.

hmmmm, salty water, that is readily available…but I think it might make some salt deposits on the top of the soil?

I'll start salt watering them tomorrow :)

You should lik e you have so much fun there :p, Salt would be t3h cool.

you want something chemicals :P
and it needs to be salty :D ?
piss on it XD

Also, I was thinking maybe really hot water? But I think I would have to poor it on the leaves themselves, and that would make a mess. As for in the soil, I think it would probably dissipate the heat before it did any real damage to the roots.

EDIT:
lol…pee on it? It's on the window sil, next to a very busy sidewalk :s I would get some funny looks :O

lol.

Who keeps plants in their rooms?!

try bleach haha. or a mixture of bleach and salt. something crazy like that. or vinegar! idk. go crazy

If chosen to pee on it, take advantage of the busy sidewalk and make a sign and hold it up against the window "Hey babe, want some of this?".

As for ways to kill it other than salt water and urine:
1. You could also take another advantage of it being in front of a window, and open the window sill, and "slip onto it it", causing it to break. (After re-reading it I see you cannot open the window sill; find a way ;) .)

2. Replace it with a plastic plant, and claim that you didn't want to hurt is feelings then have a fake (real is allowed too) mental breakdown and start crying, then say you love him, that will take his mind off the plant.

That's all I can think of for now.

Hmm, I'm thinking about SOAP?

Try soap, it should work pretty well, without any visible remains.
Tell me how it works?

umm watered down emonia :D just awiff of that stuffmakes ya eyes water

pee in cup, place salt, soap, vinga , bleach and pour into soil of the plant.

Drain cleaner

Eh.. Weed killer? That has lots of chemicals!

Yeah, weed killer, bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, vinegar all sound pretty good, but like I said, limited supplies here. BUT, we do have soap…and salt…I think I'll try some soapy salt, though I don't know how toxic soap is to plants…or salt. And as for the the people say physically damage it, that isn't really an option, because I want him to think he failed at plants, so he stops trying, and I don't have to kill more of them later… :p

No vineager or drain cleaner or weed killer? That would be the best IMO.

Cut em2 it

Super salty water indeed. It will cause plasmolysis of the cells, so it'll die xD

And as for the the people say physically damage it, that isn't really an option, because I want him to think he failed a plants, so he stops trying, and I don't have to kill more of them later…

You did it once, you can do it again

Pee in them…honestly.

hot oil?
Gasoline?
Brake liquid cooler or however you call that
Any other liquid you can take out from a car/machine/both.

Hot oil huh?

I don't have oil in my dorm, nor a good way to heat it? Maybe the microwave…but again, no oil. And Markus, I know it will cause plasmolysis since it would exposed to a hypertonic solution, but I'm not sure if the solution will stay the roots long enough to cause enough dessication. Anyway, that's what I'm going with, soapy salty water. I will start when he goes to physics lab tonight, and after I grab some salt packets from the cafeteria.

Add bleach to the soil, then churn the soil around and water.

I'm not a Fan of science but try out Fostfide, Sodium or pure Potassium and poor water over it ^.^ makes a massive BOOM! and does biggy damage.
If you can :P try out HCL, H2SO4, Try get them as a Volume of 2+ or like even
10+ :P The ten plus will burn everything to the ground ^.^ so try 2+.

Mix up some bleach & ammonia, or perhaps a Drano/Ajax/Comet mix ;)

Edit: Just rip the plants out & if he yells at you tell him to fuck off, you don't like plants on your windowsill.

What kind of plants are they?

piss in it, and pour beer ad vodka init.

Cmon my way ^.^ please.

I might poor my urine in there later, but I drink so many fluids that my urine is ultra-dilute. And I don't have alcohol, nor am I allowed to have any, plus the smell would give it away.

In addition to soap and salt, why not try to alter temperature of the room? Some plants cannot grow or just die when the temperature does not suit their proper environment. I say to to put the temperature super cold when you are away:D

No chemicals makes it tough because that is the easiest and least detectable way to kill plants.

But if you want to be ninja with what you have…

Spray-paint the leaves whatever color they are so they get no light (little messy inside) but you could take it outside when your roomy isn't home.

Grab some of those do not eat packets from clothing that are supposed to absorb moisture and put them in the soil to dehydrate them.

Salt works good but so does blood but blood is really hard to come by unless you're a murderer or suicidal.

If you make an incision with a knife at the very base of the plant it will kill it within a few days. Grab a razor and make a cut below the soil line all the way around the stem. Make sure you completly sever the xylem (or is it phloem) either way this stops the plant from being able to get any water and it will die.
It would be hard to detect if you used a small knife (unless he really examined the plant) and if it was below the soil line (dig down a little) they would never notice.

You could also put it in the freezer for a couple of hours a day/bury some ice cubes in its pot and freeze it to death.

Good luck and i hope this was helpful

hmmmmm, I didn't even think of cutting it a little below the soil…
I think that's next if soap and stuff doesn't work

Hope not, hes a guy….kinda, and if he does, I'll kill them too, but I want him to think that he killed them, so it discourages him from getting more.

From: Brain

Then you can try boiling water.

Some other ideas…maybe not as effective as the others but if the others don't work…

Don't know on this one but supposedly plants respond to their environment which includes sound. The good gardeners talk nicely to their plants and sing to them. Why not trying to cuss at the plant every time you remember?

Find a way to make green light fall on the plant. Supposedly the chlorophyll can't function properly under green light. This could only be done if you had a few hours of the day to devote to it. If not it could still deprive the plant of a little nourishment which might weaken it to other forms of sabotage.

…(if you smoke) Plants die when exposed to too much cig smoke. You could just smoke by the window and blow the smoke through the plant.

like the spray paint you could coat the leaves with something. Vaseline would make cellular resperation impossible and cause the plant to die.

Find some bugs (from outside hopefully) and put them in the pot, if you are lucky they will find the plant delicious and they will devour it.

Risky one… Take the plant out of the pot and put the roots in a plastic bag then put it back in the soil. This will keep the water from getting to the roots and it will die of dehydration. The only problem would be if he pulled up the plant to throw it away and the roots had a bag on them.

Now some last resort type ideas…

Break the window and make it have to be boarded up so the plant gets no life.

Actually talk to the roommate and ask them to move the plant.

Hide drugs in it and call the cops on your roommate and then they will confenscate the plant as evidence.

Mhm, plants/the chlorophyll absorbs all colors EXCEPT green, that's why they look green since they reflect it. so if you took it away from the white light (light from sun being on the windowsill), and then got a green bulb right over top of it you could slowly decrease it's growth/eventually kill it… IDK how long it actually takes tho.

If i found out you destroyed my plants on purpose, i would destroy your computer… don't be an ass, keeping plants is very therapeutic and it can be emotional when they die, think about it… they could be the only thing keeping you from getting wacked in your sleep(understand the way you want), and if he found out you did it on purpose… well i would be dangerous..

Salt is your best bet. If you do 2 parts salt and 2 parts water, nothing will ever grow in that soil again. :stirthepot: If you wanted to, you could do 3 parts salt and 1 part water…that would defiantly take out the plant. Happy plant killing lol

Put salt in the pot, just hide it well. Should kill the plants, atleast killed my teachers ones when I was in 5th grade (was an accident, really.. Sort of, but didn't know they'll die atleast) :( She was pretty pissed off.

Get soil with no magnesium in it. Without magnesium, plant will slowly die due to being unable to produce chlorophyll. That will slowly turn it yellow and he will think to water more and by doing so will remove the little nutrients left in and thus lead to its demise. This way is much more ownage because it will be a slow, painful death for the plant and can be easily redone again and again without him noticing (by offering to pot his new plants when he gets them - not only does he think you're being nice, you can secretly make sure it dies!).

From: Brain

Don't have bleach.

I presume you have a toilet? Use toilet duck or any other standard toilet cleaner, but use a bit more than before.

ANY chemical will kill plants:

Any soluble chemical, even including the various commercial fertilizers, if used in sufficient amount, will kill plants.

One of the most effective ways would be to add huge volumes of salt to the soil. Make sure its all churned in. This will soak up all the water, and will make it appear like they have simply died of thirst, meaning your room-mate wont be suspicious.

If you happen to have a kerosene lamp lying around, use some of that and the plant will die within 2 hours. Else, just pour a little bit of petrol in some water, then water the plant. You could use caustic soda, but its not that effective (Better at killing ivy).

How do you suggest I go about removing the magnesium from some soil? And I would rather not re-plant anything, its messy.

As for the toilet, no toilet, I'm in the dorms, we have a public restroom.

As for what I am doing is I'm watering it with salt/soap water :)

Play Country Music to the plants.
Country Music sucks, therefore, the plants shall agree with me and will hate it.
The Plants will then commit suicide.

Bleach, Baking Soda, Pledge on the leaves, Vinegar, Ammonia, Lysol in soil all work, i had the exact some problem cept for roommate, was my brother… the baking soda water worked on 2 of them and then for fun the Pledge on leaves looks REALLY natural, and doesnt take to long

kinda feel sorry for plant!

Agent orange…? I need that for bigger plans.

throw rocks from outside ^-^ hit plant or better yet a nice thick bottle of vodka

well i once put h202(hydrogen peroxide) in some of my moms bamboo plants and they like died the next day, it's suposed to help plants in small doses but i put in like 3 tablesppons so it killed em.

im liking the agent orange lol… my first thought was a salt/bleach/ A LOT OF KNO3 (potassium nitrate, salt peter(available at gardening stores)) was also thinking have a party in your room, get drunk, "accidentally" knock plant over during party, was also thinking, if you kill it, he gets another one, and that one dies, and he gets another, he might start to think some one is messing with his plants, there fore planting a bug (sound or video, either/or) so watch out lol…

hope this all helps and happy killing!!

P.S. my policy- pics or it didn't happen..

I have a good idea :P

Heat table salt (NaCl) to get sodium(Na). Make sure you do thin in an open area or the chlorine gas will end you.

Place the sodium in his potted plants, and wait until he waters them… heh.. heh… heh…

Can anyone say BOOM!?

hey brain long time no talk, by now shouldn't the plant be dead? if not try using sparklers in the soil and light them and let them burn down it burns the roots of the plants i have personally done this at a camp :D

Depending on how big the plant box is, you could water it with salt water, then microwave it (if you have a microwave oven) for a bit, just leaving the salt behind.

Good hunting! :)

BIG UPDATE!!!!

He brought ANOTHER plant in….
So now he freaking has THREE (3) of them!!!!

And the ones I have been salt watering for the last week are still going strong…

I think I need some more drastic methods, I might try to swipe some chemicals from the janitor….

Are you continually watering them with salt or did you just do it once? Also, try slitting the stem a little and put some salt in it, it may work?

Hmm…

Have you tried…

Vinegar : Dish Detergent
in a ratio as 3:1

or..

Axe or Hairspray with Vinegar

From: king of the nites
Are you continually watering them with salt or did you just do it once? Also, try slitting the stem a little and put some salt in it, it may work?

Well I thought he watered them everyday, it turns out you only water them once a week. So he started to ask if I was watering them, since they were still soaked days after he watered them last…since I had salt watered them 3 days straight… I made the excuse that it just got colder here and cold air has a lower saturation point than warm air, so I said it was probably because it evaporates slower. I think he bought it…

So I have to turn down the salt watering, but I have been doing it consistently, with just smaller doses of salt water, just a little more concentrated.

I have put so much salt in them, that there are salt rings along the bottom, where the saline solution has evaporated and leaving salt deposits on the reservoir…..

Rat poison. Or cleaning aid. That stuff burns your skin. Im sure it would burn plants. :/

Hydrogen Peroxide will kill them faster than anything and it will be gruesome. =D

Organic chemistry for the win!

3) How to kill plants with organic sprays. You can use an organic spray such as industrial strength vinegar (acetic acid).This burns off the tops of plants such as dandelions. But it kills anything it touches so do not spray it on good plants. If you spray it on lawn weeds, it will burn off the nearby grass as well.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Will_detergent_kill_plants

If you google detergent plants, a gazillion hits are returned on the subject of the effects of detergents on plants. Numerous experiments have shown that detergents kill plants of all types.

surely detergent will kill the plants.. the reason being is detergents have the foaming agent such as sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) or sodium lauryl sulphate which can cleave the protein molecules present in the cells converting them into peptides by breaking the chemical bondings.. how can a plant survive without protein?

2) Plant is watered with detergent solution.

This time the detergent goes straight to the roots. The roots don't
have any waxy cuticle, as their function is to absorb water. They also
have to absorb a number of other things, and make sure that water doesn't
leak out of the plant to the soil. The detergent will dissolve the lipid
membrane that surround the root cells. This will kill these outer cells,
and stop the plant absorbing water and nutrients. The root hair cells
absorb all of the water and nutrients the plant needs, and these will be
the first to be killed by detergent. Without its' supply of water and
nutrients, the plant will die. Have a look here at some root hair cells at
this site:

Detergent ftw?

Caustic Soda?

Hydrochloric Acid?

Sulpheric Acid?

Sodium Hydroxide?

I'm sure you can 'procure' some of those from your chemistry lab. Shouldn't be too hard.

Try taking a picture of the plant, some plants can live very long in high concentrations of salt, and other chemicals.

Burn Them With Fire!

salt, gasoline, over fertilizing, freezing it with dry ice, disrupting the PH harshly,
and a katana will work separately and/or combined

put vinigar with bleach will def. kill them

I still say that you cut the stems.

You should post some pics of what the plants look like and the surrounding area so that we can come up with more ideas. Like if it is a certain type of plant there might be an easy way to kill it?

Seriously just throw it in a freezer for an hour and it will get frost bite and die…unless it is a really hardy plant.

I don't remember if this was suggested but try using boiling salt water instead of just cold salt water. This allows you to pack like three times more salt into the water and the heat will really hurt the plants.

Iodine and cornstarch. There isn't a reaction, but the starch holds the iodine so it can be absorbed. Or you can use the type of Drain Cleaner that is mostly sulfuric acid, it will eat away the roots. It also contains an inhibitor to prevent too much heat from being created. You could also use Lye (pretty pure) that you could probably buy… Anywhere? Mix it with water and wash it off your hands, quick :) (Don't spill the Sulfuric Acid Drain Cleaner on you, either)

I will take pics later when he goes to band. So far I have salt watered them (hot tap) and put concentrate laundry detergent in them.

To no visible effects

piss on it. thats what i did when when i was small in my backyard, parents got pissed cause there werent any plants left.

This may be a lil messy, but be as clean and neat as possible so it's not noticable…

you will need about 3 or 4 of those cheap lighters (the ones you can adjust the flame) - Dollar Store FTW! :p

gently dig your way down to the roots, try and find a few of the bigger ones (small ones may be a lil mor difficult) choose 2 or 3 of them, and give a tiny lil snip (razor will work best) now take your lighters, and for each root you snipped, unscrew the lighter ALL the way (the fluid will shoot out so make sure you aim it at the root) it will not only shoot fluid into the root, but will also freeze it ;) now cover it back up and fix the soil so it looks like it was touch ;)

afterwards, you can also try unscrewing a lighter and dropping it in a cup of water (diluted lighter fluid? :P ) then water the plants with that…

NOTE: make sure you have either an open window or a fan and some car airfresheners jus incase ;) IF there is any smell, it should be gone in 30 mins or so…

Lemme know if it works (h)

Just put some salt under the soil, near the roots…They'll be gonners in a few days. No point with water and salt…..Just salt in the soil, right text the roots and the jobs a gooden, I guarantee it :)

nose_smasher. I think we should stick to pissing.

OK time for the best Idea yet. You use ether alchohol I suggest ethanol thatl abosolutely smash them. Next would be vinegar, pour some on the roots, stem and there gonners. Or If you want to have real fun go grab some ingredients.
* Toss dry colorants onto the flames.
* Soak logs in an alcohol solution of colorants.
* Soak logs in an aqueous (water) solution of colorants and allow the logs to dry.
* Prepare pinecones, sawdust, or cork with colorants.

AND watch them burn green. Woopde do the plants are dead your room mates pissed off, tell him to get a life and stop growing queer plants in your dorm.
Problem Solved.!

Try any rubbing alcohol(peroxide), 7-UP or mouth wash.

I feel sorry for the plants :(

The "fluid" in lighters is compressed butane. As soon as it leaves the pressurized container it changes to the gaseous phase. So you cannot dilute it with water at 1 ATM, sorry :p And butane is odorless, unless they add a scent to it. Nice suggestion freezing the roots though…..might try it with liquid carbon dioxide…. :)

Hydrochloric acid. HCl. Best easily-available stealth killer. Looks like water, cheap to buy anywhere. Just run over to a hardware store.

This is the easiest way of killing a plant. Take a cap full of rubbing alcohol and poor it down the top of the plant down to the base. The Alcohol with reverse the photosynthesis and paralyze the cells of the plant. It takes about a week for you to see results so A. Super stealth. B. Kills the plant. C. You can not revive the plant it stays drunk till you change the dirt.


Good luck!

Some weedy trees and large shrubs have been cut to the ground, but I do not want to dig and cause soil erosion. I understand that it is best to apply the root killer when the plants are still active, or trying to obsorb nutrients down to the roots. Also, should I use the concentrated weed killer, or use the regular diluted one. I currently use the Round-up Brsh killer, "ready to use". I do not know yet how effective it is.

lol, thanks jennysmith, I would think that weed killers would kill them. I'm still workin on the pics….my friend has my SD card reader, and I need to get it back from him :p

Rubbing Alcohol!!!!

UPDATE!

1 plant is looking pretty sickly, possibly dying :)
1 plant does not look good, possibly on its way to dying
1 plant looks healthy still, but its the newer plant, so I have salted it less

this wont kill them but would be hella funny, feed them food dye!

to make this post legal ill say ketchup under a layer of soil :rolleyes:

I'd just mess with your roomate and color them like josh said :p

Why not just kill the room mate instead XD? Solves your plant problem haha. On a serious note, like basically everyone said, rubbing alcohol should do it. Or you could try that tiki torch lighter fluid stuff, can't think of the name of it ATM lol. Good luck in your killings!

I agree with the salt part lol. :)

Lol. I've got another idea though. The other day I deep fried some chips that you buy frozen from the supermarket, and because I'm so lazy instead of disposing of the dirty oil properly I just went and tipped it out on the back lawn lol. Now theres a big dead patch of grass on the place where I tipped it, and my parents are angry at me lol. But anyway. Try putting a bit of olive oil over the leaves and stem, the plant will look kinda "shiny" though so its not really stealth. But yeah it works because it stops respiration as the plant cant get any C02 (due to the layer of oil), so the plant just dies. Maybe you could put a really thin layer over it, it would still work but it might not be noticeable.

Now theres a big dead patch of grass on the place where I tipped it, and my parents are angry at me lol. But anyway. Try putting a bit of olive oil over the leaves and stem, the plant will look kinda "shiny" though so its not really stealth. But yeah it works because it stops respiration as the plant cant get any C02 (due to the layer of oil), so the plant just dies. Maybe you could put a really thin layer over it, it would still work but it might not be noticeable.

Yea, like use a paintbrush to slab some on each leaf lmao!
Nice idea :D

Brain I like the dry ice idea. It should frostbite the plant epically. Just wondering… is there another window in your dorm (I think is where you said you were staying) Because if there is could you just move the plants…?

Idea take out the soil of the plants and put something under them like a balloon so there is less soil in the pot thus there is less stuff to hold the water for it to absorb… The balloon is so the soil line is the same.

Have you tried the lower stem cut yet? It seems that the salt is a little slow.

thnx alot

I agree with the salt part lol. It is a great way to dry out that plant :P.

^ most funny spam ever :P, wth is thx about that?

By the way. depending on what kind of plants they are , actually it doesnt matter. I killed my moms plants with Antikal lol (thats that super corrosive stuff:P) perhaps that works as a last resort=p?

just over water then plant dies

flamethrower or stomach acid

You can cut the base of the plant and put in something like belladonna in the cut. that should mess up the plant. You could try buying a portable heater and putting the plants right next to it for an hour a day.

whoops!

I was meaning to update this…

I think I may have succeeded!!!!

He took them home for Thanksgiving break 2 weeks ago, and when I got back the they were not back!!! hoha!

I am teh victor!!!

I just used a lot of salt in hot water, with dish soap, 3 time a week, for like 3 weeks. It took awhile, and I had to slow down, since I think he was gettin wise to it…anyway… I WIN!!!!!!!

Thanks for the help guys

grats on getting rid of them!

Cast fire bolt on it :S

J/ks Cut its roots off and just have the stem left in the pot without it being to noticeable :P

just tell him to move them end off!

just tell him to move them end off!

LOL! I agree :-)

:f: :f: :f:

If this ever happens again plant a grenade in the soil, set it off and tell your friend an Iraqi terrorist broke into your house and blew it up. (not being racist)

From: NiCbaZ
pee in cup, place salt, soap, vinga , bleach and pour into soil of the plant.

i agree with that

I'm sorry to dig this, but just going through my posts and saw this…


Did you kill his plants in the end? :').

Never totally killed them, he took them away after a weekend when he went home. They were definatelly in pain though, I could see it in their….leaves. They were drooping and stuff :D

But I have moved outta the dorm room with him and live in an apartment with actual friends now (and my gf).

Haha - Nearly then :).
Ah that sounds better so I guess no plants need killing :D.
