Growing method

Germination generally takes 14 to 21 days in potting soil maintained at 25 °C (77 °F). To plant this variety, first choose a location that matches its exposure: full sun. For this variety, prefer a soil texture that drains water quickly; in heavy soil, choose a raised location where moisture does not accumulate around the collar. Neutral to acidic soil Exposure: full sun and partial shade Grow coffee from seeds In April-May, start by soaking 3 to 4 seeds, still in their parchment (fibrous membrane), for about 24 hours in lukewarm water. Then place them on the surface of a shallow tray filled with a mixture of seed-starting mix and river sand. Lightly cover them with a thin layer of potting soil. Then water gently without saturating the substrate. Place this tray in a heated mini-greenhouse set to 25 °C, or cover it with a transparent plastic bag and place it near a heater that ensures a constant temperature of around 25 °C. Maintain slight moisture in the substrate. But be careful not to overwater, as seeds can rot in waterlogged substrate. Under these conditions, these seeds will germinate after 4 to 8 weeks.
