do coffee grounds help hydrangeas bloom
Coffee grounds, like coffee itself, are acidic in nature. Adding dried coffee grounds to the soil around hydrangeas increases the acidity of the soil, which boosts the blue-producing capabilities of the hydrangea and the ability to absorb aluminum from the soil. Monitor the pH level of the soil over time with a pH test kit; a range of 5.2 to 5.5 is best for blue blooms.
