Coffea arabica
25 seeds
"Coffee"
Coffea Arabica is mostly known under the common name Arabian coffee,
Brazilian coffee, or Kofi coffee and belongs to the Rubiaceae family,
and originated in Ethiopia.


Coffea Arabica is easy to grow indoors, makes a very attractive
houseplant and if it likes you well enough, it will even rewards you
with flowers and berries! It is a terrific conversation piece! Arabica
represents approximately 90 percent of the world's coffee production.
The Arabica plant is an evergreen, typically large upright bush, or a
small tree that can reach a height up to 20 feet or 3-5 ft in container.


On plantations, it is kept at a height of about 2-3 m (6 ft) to
facilitate harvesting. After planting, the Arabica trees produce their
first crop in three years, and will be bearing fully at 7-8 years old.
The Arabica plant can successfully produce fruits for about 40 years.
Primary, non-renewable branches grow from the trunk at an average
distance of 15 cm.


The Arabica plants have taproots that are not very deep.
Plant indoors before the last frost. Coffee seeds do not need a cold
period to germinate.
They should be soaked
in water for 24 to 48 hours. Then, plant the seeds at 3/4" depth in a
deep pot, using a rich, moist, well draining soil mix. Peat moss in the
potting mix will help provide acid conditions. Keep the seedlings at 30C
and provide bottom heat. The soil should be kept on the moist side,
but never soggy and in filtered sunlight. The seeds need air
circulation, so do not cover them with plastic. Raise the seedlings in
shade for 6-12 months, and then harden them off to sun. Germination
should occur in about 60 days, but it can take longer. Be patient!
Seed from a local South African plant breeder.
