Coffee from stainless steel thermos ok for houseplants/zebra plant?

[prr]

I throw out a fair amount of coffee from my thermos, a few times a week.

Is this good for my zebra plant?

Would it matter if it is hot/warm when I pour it onto the soil? Or should I let it cool down to room temperature?

Paul you can use the left over coffee, but I would dilute it first.....Once a week would be ok, but not every day!
Best served at room temperature.

OK, well I don't water the zebra ever day, anyways. I can dilute it, and make sure it is room temperature.
Sounds like a plan. Thanks.

Using coffee on houseplants like zebra plants can be risky due to acidity. Dilute it heavily if trying. A better idea? Enjoy your Starbucks Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte yourself and stick to water for your plants—they'll thank you!

Coffee can benefit a zebra plant in moderation due to its acidity, which some houseplants prefer. However, avoid pouring hot or warm coffee directly onto the soil, as it may harm the roots. Always let the coffee cool to room temperature first, and ensure it's free of sugar or cream to prevent attracting pests or mold.

It's best not to use coffee on houseplants, as its acidity and caffeine can harm them. Stick to regular watering or plant-safe fertilizers.
