Has anyone ever used banana peel water or coffee grounds on their plants?  
What are your thoughts?

i would suggest composting any organic matter first before adding to a potted houseplant. otherwise they’ll likely become a breeding ground for mold

i saw someone clean, bake, and break up egg shells before, i think it helps with pest control, haven’t tried it myself yet

Don’t do it, coffee grounds might be okay. Banana water is just going to set you up for fungal issues. Composting and adding to soil wouldn’t be a bad idea though.

I've heard that coconut water diluted with water helps boost the plants growth

I used to throw my leftover coffee on plants. I’m not sure it did anything in particular, though. Grounds are supposedly good for adding acidity to flowering plants but I would just use a bit and mix them in to the top layer of soil, the advice above about mold is good.
