Coffea Arabica (coffee plant)

Coffea Arabica (coffee plant): Fancy some coffee? With a little luck and the right care, you can get the plant to flower and produce fruit. The evergreen shrub is ideal for cultivation in a greenhouse, conservatory or even indoors. The plant should be kept in a bright and warm location. The coffee plant can also be grown outside during the warm season. Do not plant out. As soon as the temperature drops below 10 degrees, bring it back into the warmth.

It is essential to avoid waterlogging due to root rot and fungal infestation. It is best to water only when the leaves begin to bend slightly. Ideally, the Coffea Arabica (coffee plant) should be kept in an environment with more than 50 % humidity. The coffee plant can also be sprayed with water. This plant is not suitable for households with pets and small children.

The fruits (coffee beans / coffee cherries) can be harvested when they have an intense red colour. They should then be dried for a few days. For example on the windowsill. Don't forget to turn them so that they dry evenly. They can then be roasted in a pan on maximum heat for 10-20 minutes. To allow the beans to develop their full flavour, wait another 10 days or so before brewing.

Info

Before shipping, the plant is repotted in a new anthracite-coloured cultivation pot with a hole in the bottom (gallery picture) and fresh soil. This means you no longer have to worry about it. The plant has enough space to grow for a long time. You may need a saucer or outer pot.
