Matt read forums about watering Nepenthes with coffee (twice yearly max) for growth boost. His struggling N. clipeata × eymae and N. sanguinea orange need help. Asks expert opinion.
Jeff Dallas: Tried coffee a few times—mediocre results. Won't hurt if not overdone. Essentially a weak organic fertilizer. Like all fertilization, useless if temps/light are off. If conditions are good, coffee could give a boost.
Good Growing!
