How to plant a potted coffee tree

Coffee tree planting

When growing coffee trees in pots, you can sow them.

Find the seeds of the coffee tree and process them. Generally, you can use a knife to cut a small incision on the seed skin and peel off the skin.

The seeds can be planted directly, but it is best to sow them after soaking. Soak the seeds in water, usually cold water, to prevent the loss of nutrients in the seeds. Note that you can start sowing after taking out the seeds after soaking them in water.

Use vermiculite as soil, place the seeds directly on top of the vermiculite, and cover with soil.

Transplanting coffee trees

After sowing, coffee trees will sprout very quickly. Generally, if sown in spring and autumn, they will sprout in about 30 days. In summer, they will sprout in about 10 days. In winter, it will take a long time and you need to wait patiently.

When the coffee tree seedlings grow true leaves, they can be transplanted. Choose a flowerpot of suitable size that can accommodate the plant and give it more space to grow. The roots can be placed in the pot and stretch out.

Pay attention to the soil for transplanting. Generally, garden soil can be used, and the coffee tree can be grown well. If you are worried about the nutrients and air permeability of the garden soil, you can use a three-in-one soil mixture of peat soil, vermiculite and perlite.
