I've recently read that adding coffee grounds to potting soil is a good way to add nutrients and enhance plant growth. Would it be a good idea to add coffee grounds to cactus soil in general, let alone into Pereskiopsis soil?

This may look like your typical Pereskiopsis cutting, but it isn't. Rather than taking a cutting from the top portion of the Pereskiopsis, I removed a little extra stem from the bottom of an existing Pereskiopsis cutting and removed the roots on it where appropriate. Thus this cutting already has roots on it. All it has to do is use them. Also don't worry, I left a reasonable amount of root on the plant I took this cutting from so it won't have to do too much root regeneration.
BTW this cutting died shortly after being taken so this is not a good method for propagating Pereskiopsis lol.

The coffe question would be rather seen by members if posted on another forum section.
