What Garden Plants Benefit From Leftover Coffee & Grounds?

We drink a lot of fresh ground coffee everyday & have lots of leftover coffee and the grounds. We compost them usually but I’ve heard somewhere leftover coffee is beneficial to certain plants. Any ideas? Thanks, Julie

  1. BY adding coffee grounds/coffee to the soil, you are adding some acid. Tomatoes, azaleas, geraniums, mandevillas, bougainvilleas, etc for outside plants. There are also a lot of inside plants that love coffee…spider (AKA airplane) plant, the plant that some folks call a philodendron, etc…

  4. Just saw Martha (UGH) on the Today Show yesterday. Any acid loving plants will benefit from this. The trick is to determine what plants love acid.
