Do plants like coffee?

Splashing your plant with coffee will discourage leaf eating pests but in most case won't help the roots or soil. Coffee in the soil will decrease the pH level and possibly cause mold to grow. Coffee bean plants make beautiful indoor plants.

  1. Oil is a pesticide too. Even vegetable will smother scale and mealy bugs. For that matter water is a pesticide. I would forgo the super-shiny look and use water.
