Houseplant coffee. For home and soul

Today there are about 40 types of coffee. Despite its impressive size (1.5 meters or more), you can also grow indoor coffee plant, forming it like a bush with a wonderful decorative appearance.

This type of coffee, such as Arabica at home, is a small tree or bush with horizontal side shoots and dark green shiny leaves. White flowers with a delicate delicate aroma, located in the axils of the leaves, decorate the indoor coffee plant. The green berry of the fruit, about one and a half cm long, gradually becomes dark red in color and, as a rule, contains two grains pressed against each other.

The indoor coffee plant blooms several times a year, starting from mid-April - May. Along with cross-pollination, self-pollination has also become quite common for coffee, allowing you to get a harvest at home with proper care. An adult coffee plant at home can produce up to one and a half kg of beans. The most productive fruiting tree starts at age 6, lasting until age 30.

The indoor coffee plant prefers bright, indirect light. In summer, light shading is required when growing on the sunny side. Coffee cannot withstand temperatures dropping below 14 degrees even for a short time, suffering greatly from winter drafts.

In spring and summer watering plentiful, moderate in autumn and winter. From time to time the leaves are sprayed.

They feed coffee over the summer 2 times with organic and mineral supplements.

Replant once every 2 years in the spring into a larger container.

Reproduce woody cuttings in summer or freshly collected seeds in April-May.
