Reply:For those who don't know what a fertilizer is, it is a chemical or chemicals that are given to plants to promote growth. Either through foliar spraying or by applying it to the soil, fertilizers are instrumental in plant growth. This is because fertilizers generally provide in varying proportions nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, which are the three major plant nutrients. Additionally, fertilizers contain the secondary plant nutrients of calcium, sulfur, and magnesium to some degree. Fertilizers tend to contain trace elements like boron, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, and molybdenum that play a positive role in plant nutrition.





Studies have shown the effective role that spent coffee grounds can have in a garden as a fertilizer. Due to its high nitrogen content, spent coffee grounds contain properties that is excellent in plant health. As nitrogen is a crucial component of DNA, RNA, and proteins that plants need to build themselves, coffee is becoming increasingly used as a fertilizer. Additionally, recent studies have shown that spent coffee grounds also contain potassium, phosphorous, and other trace elements that only assist the development process for a plant. As far as wilting after too much coffee that as caused by over fertilization. Any fertilizer in excess will burn/kill a plant.
Reply:It some how affects the cytokinesis of the plants cell, its cell division. In the coffee there is something that quickens the rate of the cell division, thus making it grow faster.
