Coffee tree cultivation methods and precautions

How to grow coffee trees

soil

When growing coffee trees, you can choose some slightly acidic soil. However, basically, coffee trees do not have very high requirements for soil. They can be grown well with garden soil mixed with some other soil.

If you want to keep the soil slightly acidic, you can water it with a little rice water during normal maintenance.

Watering

Coffee trees should generally be watered when the soil is dry and moistened, keeping the soil moist and not too dry.

Coffee tree seedlings require a lot of water during their growth period, so they should generally be kept sufficiently hydrated. When the seedlings grow larger, they can become drought-resistant.

illumination

Coffee trees prefer light. If there is a lack of light during cultivation, the plants will grow poorly. But in summer, you must be careful to avoid direct sunlight to prevent damage to the plants.

Repotting

When growing coffee trees, it is generally necessary to repot them every year. When repotting, be sure to remove the old roots and plant it in a new pot.

Coffee tree cultivation precautions

Yellowing leaves

When growing coffee trees, it is very common for the leaves to turn yellow. Generally, this is a normal phenomenon. Just pay attention to cleaning the yellow leaves.

Topping

When growing coffee trees, it is important to pinch the tops of the trees appropriately to encourage the growth of side branches and lush leaves.

Lignification

When growing coffee trees, as the plants grow, some lignification will occur, the stems will turn yellow-brown, and cracks will appear. This is a normal phenomenon.
