First steps in coffee plant cultivation
The coffee plant, native to tropical climates, also adapts to the home environment with some care. Here are some practical tips to succeed in your cultivation:
1. Choosing the right spot
Watering and light are crucial. Place your pot in a bright area but avoid direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves. An environment with constant temperatures between 18-24°C is ideal.
2. Watering and humidity
The coffee plant loves humidity. During the warmer seasons, keep the soil moist with regular watering, but don’t overdo it. Remember that good drainage is essential to avoid root rot.
3. Nutrition and care
Using natural fertilizers every 4-6 weeks helps the plant grow strong and healthy. Make sure to adequately feed your plants, respecting their natural cycles.
Ready for harvest?
With patience and dedication, your coffee plant will start to bloom and produce small beans after a few years. Even though you won’t be able to grind your own coffee just yet, you'll have charted a unique path in your urban garden.
