Using Coffee Grounds for Plants: A Beginner’s Step by Step Guide

Learn to use coffee grounds for plant fertilizer with my step-by-step compost guide! Discover benefits and considerations for successful gardening.

Adding Coffee Grounds to Indoor Plants

Indoor plants like African violet, philodendron, monstera benefit from coffee grounds. Avoid aloe vera, pothos, orchids due to acidity.

Can You Use Fresh Coffee Grounds?

Caution with fresh coffee grounds: they're acidic and high in caffeine. Avoid on young plants or seedlings to prevent growth issues.

How to Create Compost With Coffee Grounds

Find a Spot for the Compost Bins

Choose a compost bin location with good drainage and near water, avoiding extreme temperatures. Opt for outdoors to minimize indoor odors.

Collect Brown and Green Materials
