Houseplant Feed

Photo of healthy indoor houseplants

Leftover cooled coffee and used tea leaves give indoor plants a mild, slow-release feed — a simple way to put kitchen scraps to work.

What you'll need

Steps

  1. Dilute coffee or tea with water.
  2. Water houseplants with the mixture once every two to three weeks.
Tip: Only use plain, unsweetened, black coffee or tea — cream, sugar, and flavorings can attract pests or grow mold in the soil.
