Coffee Plant CareCoffee plant care does not entail so much hard work comparable to coffee farms. While it might be a bit of a stretch for some to Cultivate Coffee After three to four years, the coffee will start to bear flowers and a pot of coffee for the household. Planting Coffee Some cultivators of coffee make certain that the potted plants are positioned under a medium-high-ceiling-canopy, shade, or screen roof to ensure that the sunlight is just right. When planted indoor as houseplant, the coffee plant is placed in a shady window bearing in mind that it should not have direct sunlight exposure for more than an hour. 
Humidity is essential. Part of coffee plant care is to maintain humidity by misting the leaves several times each week. Insufficient humidity leads to browning or yellowing of leaves. If such occurrence takes place, the leaves should be watered immediately. Scale insects infest the coffee plant. An indication of their presence—small yellow or brown spots underneath the leaves—should be wiped away instantly with soapy water or applying a pesticide. Every spring, the plant needs repotting into a bigger pot. After two or three years, flowers and cherries will appear. To incite flowering, reduce watering for 2 to 3 months in winter. Then water the plant well again in spring. Once the cherries mature, they are ready to harvest. Harvesting Coffee Beans Only ripe coffee cherries are harvested from trees with high production not infected with disease. The cherries are pulped with a hand, washed with water, and fermented in a small container until the pulps wear off. During the fermentation, the beans are rubbed by hands to make the pulp fall off. Then they are washed again, discarding all that floats each time. The beans are dried to around 20% moisture content using mesh screen laid on an open and dry air. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight as it can burn the beans. After pulping, the beans will have moisture content to around 60 to 70%. To determine the right moisture content, you can weigh the beans or bite open a bean to know if it is dry on the outside while soft and moist inside. _________________________________________________________________ Top of Coffee Plant Care Listed under Indoor Plants |
