Can I give coffee ground waste to acid-loving plants? I have an espresso machine at home and produce a lot of coffee ground waste every week. I’m thinking re-purpose them. Been told they contain acidity and can be used on plants I have hydrangeas and a few other plants marked as acid-soil loving by planta. Can I scatter dryer up coffee ground waste directly to soil of these plants, or better off just water with coffee ground soaked water? Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks:)
I’ve always been told that coffee grounds are really good for plants. Nitrogen is a major component of most fertilizers, and it is essential for photosynthesis and therefore plant growth.

and have you ever tried pouring a bottle of fertilizer on one plant? too much of anything is bad. plants (especially during flowering stage) CANNOT tolerate high levels of nitrogen, you’ll get cool foliage at a price of root growth and any possible flower formation. once you reach your pollinating stage you’ll realize flowers are kinda important.
