Does coffee grounds help house plants?
don't know about coffee ground's but tea leave's/bags are good for your plant's e.g. climer's it keep's the root's cool and keep's them most in hot weather.
Reply:I use strong black , tea, the leftovers after its been standing for a while. My plants love it.
Reply:They are good for outdoor gardners. So why not give it a try on an older plant as a demo. See if it works. That is the way to test things.



Hope it works for you
Reply:Coffee grounds are good for acid-loving plants, like tomatoes, roses, azaleas %26amp; blueberries. I lightly sprinkle the coffee grounds around the base of these plants (along with crushed eggshells) to deter slugs, also. You can eventually scratch it into the soil so it doesn't compact when it has accumulated. That also helps the soil retain moisture.



A lab test analysis showed that: "the grounds provide generous amounts of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and copper.

They also release nitrogen into the soil as they degrade."

Nitrogen: 2.28 percent

Phosphorus: 0.06 percent

Potassium: 0.6 percent

Dilute with water for a gentle, fast-acting liquid fertilizer. Use about a half-pound can of wet grounds in a five-gallon bucket of water; let sit outdoors to achieve ambient temperature.

Mix into soil for houseplants.

Sprinkle used grounds around plants before watering, for a slow-release nitrogen.

Rose gardeners reported coffee grounds make their roses larger %26amp; more colorful. Encircling plants with coffee grounds %26amp; eggshells makes a barrier to repel pests.
