Acid Loving Plants?

Now that I know I can share my morning coffee with my plants, I need to know which ones are "acid-loving"? Help!

Why would beehive, be so negative? I am so happy to get the free coffee grounds from Starbucks. I am putting them on my roses.

They started that coffee thing on office plants "a short cut for not walking to a waste basket" at work and if you ever saw black flies and how they loved coffee poured in plant pot soil. It looked like a beehive in smaller version swarming if plant pot was jarred. I was told by others from other city cites that black flies love coffee/tea soaked soil that they had observed this before. Was very disgusting

Azaleas love the coffee grounds as well as rose bushes. Mine have done wonderful on the grounds as well as cold coffee. Good Luck!

African violets but use it sparingly and make sure it is cool. I used to many used coffee grounds in mine and killed several of them
