Just save a little of your leftover coffee grounds and sprinkle them onto the soil, then water your plant as normal. Geraniums in particular just love coffee, and so do Peace Lily plants!
Should you water geraniums every day?
That is, you shouldn’t rush to irrigate these plants every day, since they grow better when their soil dries out between waterings. Pelargoniums like the soil to dry out a bit before you add more water. Reduce waterings in winter, but never let the soil dry out completely.
