Coffee tree: planting from seed
Seeds of this tree should be planted in good, fast draining soil. It thrives in partial sunlight, and the temperature shouldn’t fall lower than 15°C at night. In 6-8 weeks you will notice a gentle shoot above the surface. Leaves you will see in about 4-5 weeks.
You should water seeds every day. But be careful, as too much or too little water will kill the seed. The soil should always stay well drained, but moist.
When you have counted 6 pairs of leaves, plant your young tree permanently and place in the shade of larger plants to give it necessary shade.
If you manage to create all needed conditions, in three years you will be enjoyed with pretty flowers and 5 years will be needed before its first crop is ready to harvest.
