Is coffee good for plants?

Its an old wives tale and no it isn't The only way used coffee grounds might help is if you spread them around the base of a plant to stop slugs and snails from having a nibble.

Whichever form of coffee you use, once used the leftover grounds have very little nutritional value left, with what little there is you would need to water 3 or 4 times a day for it to be of any use and then you have the more than likely danger of water logging your plant unless you live in a very sandy soil area.

Research to see whether your plant is acid-friendly. Look up the type of plant that you have and see if it correctly digests acidic products. Many herbs and indoor plants will be suitable for this liquid coffee treatment. These are some examples that you can spray a coffee mixture on:

Spider plants

Roses

Hydrangeas

African Violets.

Coffee grinds good for the plant

Yes! worm castings are (worm poop) considered gold! and worms love coffee grounds. Some starbucks, caribou coffee offer bags of them to put in the garden in the spring time. Meaning the worms will come because of the coffee grounds and poop, plants love it. A lot of plants need calcium to, save your egg shells (google using egg shells in your garden) the calcium helps plant s also.

Coffee grounds are great for plants and the deep color also looks great in your flower/shrub beds. Starbucks has a program called "Grounds for Gardeners" in which your local Starbucks shop will, on request, give you all the used coffee grounds they have in that store. It's a good idea to call ahead in the morning and ask them to save them for you. Swing by in the late afternoon with a large Hefty bag and make off with your stash.

Excuse me, but coffee is extracted from plants.After that its brewed by baked beans of an evergreen shrub of the genus Coffea.

Gardenias grown in pots respond beautifully to coffee grounds spread over the surface of its soil. My mom killed gardenias regularly until she started using this trick.

mix in with compost or dig in around plants
