"SEEDS TO FLOWERS"
This listing is for
Coffea Arabica Nana
The
coffee plant is an attractive perennial house plant with glossy green foliage,
small white flowers followed by the coffee berries. Suitable for large containers.
Preparation: Soak the seeds in
tepid, sterilised or distilled water for 24 hours.
Sowing: Sow the seeds in damp
sand or wet vermiculite in which the excess water has been drained.
Otherwise, you can place the seeds between moist hessian material, which should
be watered twice a day and drained well. Once the coffee seed
germinates, very carefully remove it from the sand, vermiculite, or hessian
fabric. Make a hole about 1.25 cm deep in loam soil with a high
humus content. Rotted manure, bone meal, and dried blood can also be
added. If this type of soil is not readily available try a light weight
and porous soil. Place the seed flat side down in the hole and sprinkle
soil over the hole. Do not press the soil down firmly. The seeds should be watered daily.
Too much water or too little water will kill the seed. The soil should
remain well drained, but moist at all times.
Germination
time: Between 2.5 and 6
months
Potting
on: After
germination, the coffee plant should either be left alone or carefully removed
and planted in a soil with a low pH (acidic) and high nitrogen content.
The soil should be porous. Therefore, course sand or basalt gravel dust
can be added. Manure can also be added. A fertilizer that is
appropriate for orchids can be used sparingly for the coffee plant to maintain
mineral levels and a low pH.
Aftercare: The
coffee plant will thrive indoors in most climates outside the Tropic belt.
Water twice a week, keep the soil moist but well drained. Flowers can be
expected in 2-3 years followed by coffee berries.
Standard EU seed for the hobby
gardener, packed in the UK.
Country of origin:
Holland
Tip: Arabica coffee is self-fertilizing so no
pollinating is needed.

****************
Important note to buyers:
Please bear in mind, as seeds are live products, the successful germination and growth depends on various factors such as moisture, light, growing medium, etc. Therefore, we advise that you carefully follow the instructions supplied with the packet and, if unsure about anything, do extra research before starting the process. All the seeds have been tested and are with long shelf life (stated on packaging), so are expected to germinate and grow if cared for properly. For these reasons, we cannot be held responsible if any of the seeds show no or little productivity.
