New Grower Have you ever offered your girls coffee?

[Dr. Babnik]

I used to top dress my pots with some coffee grounds sometimes, supposed to help with bugs and I know it's rich in Magnesium, Nitrogen & Phosphorus. Turns into a crust pretty quickly though, kind of a pita so I stopped.

Don't ever try to spray some diluted coffee grounds though (or use a coffee filter), I remember trying that many moons ago while it was dark and I was high. The next morning I had tiny holes all over my leaves, I guess from the grains being pulverised at high speed or maybe just from them burning the leaves.

I didn't have that problem with the mulch I applied to the plant I experiment on. I didn't observe any benefits either. So I left the coffee idea.

hello guys, imho coffee is good for plants, i've used it outdoors many times around the stem of the plant but you have to be careful and spread it around in a very thin layer otherwise after a while it gets moldy

I agree.
