coffea_arabica.jpgForever decorative coffee is like one of the many potted plants from the nurses. Maybe because I was home for exotic latitudes. It is growing at an average difficulty, which adds another plus. But I have some specific moments and that's good to know in advance, no unpleasant surprises.

Family Coffea. Coffee originated in Africa and Asia. Blooms in August-September. The plant has large, dark green, glossy leaves. In the summer bloom white, star flowers that smell like Jasmine. They are formed green plodcheta like cherry, which are prey, they become blestyashtocherveni. Any plodche contains two coffee beans. They should be planted soon, because of their ability for germination is limited.


Once you take the plant home, first you should ensure that appropriate pot and soil. In general, and in this case, as with all greenery purchased, it is important that it be transferred to the new sadinka. At first, it must not be greater, but transplanting, which is done after 2 years will have to choose more spacious. As regards to dust, most suitable for coffee is rich humus soil. Tory once a week during the period of growth with highly diluted liquid fertilizer.

The next step is to choose the best location for the plant. It must be lit (but keep away from direct sun!), Airy (but not of course) and away from other vegetation. Ideally the window.

Warm temperatures plant - requires a minimum of 8 C in winter. The plant requires bright light. Should be izbyagva direct sunlight.
Water thoroughly during the summer with a soft, warm water, but avoid the accumulation of moisture. Reduce watering in winter. Perfusion leaves frequently with water. Feeding it with liquid fertilizer twice a month. And during the growth Water once a week with diluted, poor in lime slurry.
Replanted it in early spring every two - three years.

Good to know that beautiful blooms coffee, but only the third year. So be patient load. His colors are white and appear in summer. They closely resemble the white jasmine. They are formed plodchetata that start out green then turn red. This is a sign that they are ripe and can be harvested. In each fruit has two coffee beans.
