Question
I keep reading that coffee grounds added to the soil for most plants can be beneficial; is this the same for pitcher plants or are the coffee grounds likely to do damage or kill the pitcher plants (I have a Dana's Delight hybrid and a Judith Hindle hybrid)?

Answer
Hi Jason,

Never tried it.  I used them on my garden successfully, and everything I've read says they release a fair amount of nitrogen for regular plants.  This is usually bad for carnivorous plants.  They are quite acidic, however, so it might be worth a try.  Experiment on a plant your willing to sacrifice.  We'd love to hear your results.  Chances are with Sarracenia, the plants will start looking bad before they die, so you could transplant them back into regualr peat/perlite mix if they start showing signs of nutrient toxicity.

Good Growing!
