    #22199656 - 09/06/15 09:32 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Someone told me that if you keep your used coffee grounds it can be used as a good ferilizer for cactus is this true? If it is i want to use it for my san pedro seedlings

i dont. believe so because the grounds are very acidic and that does nit help the growth of the plants

san pedro seedlings should be in a sandy soil mix to retain water and kept in humid environment
maybe small gravel or small grit rock for some support too

Coffee is fine to use as fertilizer. It is mainly a source of N.

As for the 'acidic is bad' comment .... I routinely use fermented concoctions that are below 3.0 pH. Diluted of course, but none the less, I don't think you'll have a problem, assuming a healthy soil.

EDIT: Also, seedlings don't need much fertilizer until they get some size.
