My houseplants and I have something in common, we both love coffee! I give left-over coffee to our houseplants, and they love it! It's the number 1 thing I do with leftover coffee, and it has nothing to do with me drinking it! Yes! Diluted coffee is an all-natural fertilizer for houseplants.

Cost: $2.00
Equipment
- Measuring cup
Materials
- 5 cups Room Temperature Water
- 1 cup Room Temperature Brewed Drip Coffee flavored blends are OK. decaf is OK.
Instructions
- Make sure your brewed coffee is at room temperature and add water to dilute.
- Water your plants with this homemade diluted coffee houseplant fertilizer once every two weeks.

Notes
- Decaf and full caffeinated coffee will work great! It’s not the caffeine that helps the plants thrive, it’s the nitrogen and other micronutrients.
- If your houseplant’s leaves become brown at the edges after the coffee fertilizer application, then either refrain from using as much coffee next time or skip it altogether.
