Is there an easy way to determine which plants do well with leftover coffee grounds.?

I use the free give away from Starbucks and combine with soil for azaleas and gardenias.Those plants do well with the addition.Any other plants that could benefit too?

Yes, the plants that tolerate acidic conditions work best with leftover coffee grounds. If you want to mix it with a little lime, you can use this mixture with other plants as well. Rhododendrons would work.
Reply:Plants in the Ericaceous family do well in acid soils. Plants in that family include azaleas, rhododendrons, blueberries, wintergreen, erica, and kalmia. There are many other plants that are in other families, but it depends on where you live, which will dictate what you can grow and it depends on what you want to grow!



More plants include:

Honeysuckle, porcelain berry, grapes, abelia, fuschia, ixora, big leaf hydrangea, tibouchina, hellebore, iris, miscanthus, etc.....

Reply:Any acid loving plant will do well. You might also try Camellias and fuchsias.
