Indoor Plant pH and Acidity Management

FAQ About Indoor Plant pH and Acidity Management

Can I use coffee grounds to adjust the pH of my houseplant soil?

Coffee grounds are slightly acidic and can be used in small quantities to help lower the soil pH for acid-loving plants. However, they should be used sparingly, as excessive use can lead to soil compaction and reduced aeration. Coffee grounds are best mixed into the soil or added as part of a compost blend.
