Milk fertilizer??
Anyone ever heard of rinsing out your empty milk containers and using the rinse water directly on indoor plants - in this case a wandering jew plant?

Milk is not really a fertilizer. What diluted milk (I.e. your rinse water) is, is a good treatment for fungal infections in plants. If you type milk AND fungus into the Search the Forum keyword box, you will find a ton of information about it.
But Kisal is right about the smell. I used the milk treatment on my tomato plants this past summer when they got some kind of blight. It worked like a charm, but they didn't smell very nice for awhile. Not a big deal for outdoors plants, but I wouldn't have wanted to do it indoors.
