only when they look sleepy. they can get addicted.
kidding. coffee is acidic and can affect the pH of the soil they are growing in.. If you put a little bit, (1/4 cup) in a gallon of water, you should be fine to use that at every watering.

I’ve put leftover coffee on my plants for years. I do it in place of the weekly watering, and have never had problems. Oh, and I go every third week with it, so once a month shouldn’t hurt.
