Hello! I’ve heard some things about using used coffee grounds for plant fertilization. What are your thoughts on this for house plants? I’ve built quite the community of plants that I love and would hate for something to happen to them because I tried something new. Thanks! 😊

It adds nitrogen to the soil IF you need it. You will have to do a soil test first to make sure. It’s not a fertilizer.
