Rules for growing coffee trees, can it be done at home?

Indoor trees are very popular in modern decorative floristry.
Compared to regular flowers, they require significantly less care. At the same time, a small tree looks impressive in almost any room. Dear readers!
For you, we have created communities on social networks in which useful articles and interesting ideas are published several times a day! Subscribe and receive useful content in a convenient format! In today's article we will talk about one of the most popular indoor woody plants, the coffee tree.

Botanical description and homeland of the plant

The plant is part of the Rubiaceae family. The tree's homeland is ancient Abyssinia (modern Ethiopia). Now the coffee tree can be found even in the wild in South America, Asia, and other areas of Africa.

Indoor varieties are widespread everywhere.

At home, coffee is a low bushy tree that grows mainly in several thin trunks. The plant does not branch much. The process of formation of additional shoots usually begins only in the 2nd year. Coffee has large oval leaves with a pointed tip. The surface of the leaf blade is slightly convex with clearly visible veins. The color is green.

Coffee blossoms and bears fruit. The inflorescence is umbellate and consists of small white flowers. After flowering, a fruit is formed, which turns red when ripe. The berry is covered with a small crust, inside there is sweet and sour pulp and a couple of seeds-grains, from which the famous drink is prepared.

Caring for your coffee tree after purchase

Before you go to the store and buy yourself a new green pet, you should think about where to put it. Remember that coffee is a tree, and although it will not grow to several meters at home, it still needs space.

So, you bought yourself a coffee seedling. First of all, he must be quarantined. This is necessary so that the plant gets used to the new conditions. Also during this time you can find out whether the plant is sick and whether pests live on it.

In addition to quarantine, the coffee tree can be replanted. A transplant is required in the following cases:

• Several coffee cuttings sit in one container;
• The pot is too low quality;
• The soil mixture is a nutrient substrate, not ordinary soil.

ON A NOTE. Don't worry if all the leaves have fallen off the tree after replanting. This is due to the fact that all the plants in stores are “overfed”. Very soon the coffee will return to normal.

How to prevent dark circles

All the recommendations listed below are simple and universal; they are suitable for people of any age and all skin types.

Get enough sleep

This advice will not help in all cases, but if your “bruises” are caused by lack of sleep, their appearance will be prevented by that very “beauty sleep” from 10 pm to 4.00 am - at this time the production of the sleep hormone melatonin is maximum. A full night's sleep improves tissue oxygenation and increases the outflow of dark venous blood. It is better to sleep in a well-ventilated room at a temperature of 18–20 degrees.

Don't drink too much tea or coffee at night

These drinks retain moisture in the body, preventing normal microcirculation, which will certainly manifest itself in dark circles and puffiness in the morning. If you like to drink tea in the evening, it is better to do it two to three hours before bedtime.

Don't have a salty snack before bed

Salt also retains water in the body and impairs blood circulation. As a result, the eyelids swell, and blood vessels begin to show through through the thinned, stretched tissues.

Moisturize your skin

Moisturized skin retains a high level of renewal longer, which means that all age-related changes slow down. Dark circles under the eyes will also get a reprieve.

Wear glasses and contact lenses

Constantly squinting will not only give you early wrinkles around your eyes, but will also give you red circles under your eyes. And there’s no need to even talk about how dangerous it is for your eyesight to neglect glasses or contact lenses.

Apply eye cream correctly

• Do not apply it too close to the mucous membrane - not all components of the formula can interact well with it, some can cause irritation.
• Distribute the cream with your ring finger over the orbital bone, as if drawing a circle from the inner corner, with slightly patting movements. With this scheme, the skin around the eyes is less stretched and is not injured.
• The fewer wrinkles there are on the skin, the lighter the texture of the product should be: at 25 years old, you don’t need a thick anti-aging balm.

Growing conditions

In general, the coffee tree does not pose impossible tasks for the grower. The plant needs quite ordinary care and growing conditions, but with its own characteristics.

Temperature

Coffee loves warmth, but does not handle heat very well. The ideal temperature is 23 – 25 degrees. In winter, you can slightly reduce the temperature, but only to 15 degrees. If the temperature drops further, the coffee may shed its leaves.

IMPORTANT! Protect the tree from sudden changes in ambient temperature and drafts. Both have a negative effect on flowering and fruiting.

Air humidity

Coffee prefers high air humidity. In a dry climate, the tree does not feel well, often gets sick, and blooms poorly.

Additionally, it is recommended to spray the plant with a spray bottle. In the summer, you can periodically “bathe” the coffee tree.

IMPORTANT! In winter, the tree tub should be placed away from radiators, as the tips of the leaves will begin to wither due to dry air.

Coffee also loves fresh air, so we recommend periodic ventilation in winter. The main thing is to make sure that there is no draft, as this can make the plant sick.

Coffee tree after spraying

Lighting

The coffee tree comes from Africa, which means it loves light. But it is still undesirable to expose it to direct sunlight. It would be ideal to shade the plant a little. To do this, you can cover the windows with paper, use tulle or Roman blinds.

ON A NOTE. If your apartment does not have the right place with sufficient lighting, then the coffee tree can be placed under fluorescent lamps.

The soil

For a coffee tree, it is better to choose acidic soil (with a pH level less than 7). If you prepare the soil yourself, then follow these proportions: 2 parts acidic peat, 1 part distilled, 1 part sand, 1 part each leaf and greenhouse soil.

Pot

It is equally important to choose the right pot. In a container that is too small, the plant will be cramped. The roots will quickly fill the entire volume, and the coffee will begin to hurt. If it is too large, on the contrary, the tree will not be able to receive all the nutrients when watering and feeding.

It follows from this that you need to choose a medium-sized pot for the plant, so that it is not cramped, but there is space to grow.

In what cases is support needed?

Sometimes your green pet may need support. These are mainly cases when the plant has too thin shoots, as well as after transplanting into a new pot, when the tree has not yet taken root.

Choosing a place to put it

Indoors, the coffee tree is best placed near a south window. If this is not possible, then place the tree on the east or west window.

It is not recommended to place the pot in dark corners or in the back of the room. Lack of lighting negatively affects the decorative qualities of the plant.

In late spring and summer, the coffee tub can be moved to the loggia or taken out to the terrace. The tree will really like this, as it will be provided with a sufficient amount of light and fresh air.

What does it look like in the interior?

The coffee tree is not just another flower in a pot. This is part of the interior decor of any room. The plant looks beautiful in a modern studio apartment, office, and bedroom. The coffee tree is also great for decorating public spaces: cafes, reception areas, corridors, conservatories, etc.

Soil and fertilizing

Only acidic soil is suitable for coffee; in neutral soil the plant will wither and become sick. To make the best earthen mixture, you need the following components:

• sour peat - 2 parts,
• leaf soil - 1 part,
• humus – 1 part,
• coarse sand - 1 part.

During the period of active growth (April-October), the coffee tree needs feeding. Every two weeks the plant is fed with a comprehensive formula containing nitrogen and potassium. Watery fertilizers are ideal for azaleas, but granular fertilizers can also be used. For example, dissolve 10 g of ammonium nitrate and 6 g of potassium salt in 2 liters of water.

Fertilize coffee only after one more watering - you cannot pour fertilizer into dry soil, otherwise the roots may get burned. Proponents of organic fertilizers can add dried mullein to the pot.

Flowering conditions

The coffee tree blooms in spring. It forms umbrella-shaped inflorescences consisting of small white flowers. At the same time, the tree emits a pleasant aroma.

REFERENCE. The coffee tree fades very quickly. Don't miss this amazing moment!

Flowering
You can also help the plant bloom. To do this, gently shake the branches on which the inflorescences appeared. Another way is to take a cotton swab or soft brush and touch the flowers. This will cause artificial pollination.

After flowering, fruits begin to set. They ripen almost throughout the spring-summer period, and in some cases the process can even take 1.5 – 2 years.

IMPORTANT! In order for coffee to bloom bright and memorable, it needs to be allowed to rest in winter. During the dormant period, you will have to reduce watering and eliminate the application of fertilizers. You also need to slightly reduce the temperature.

Harvesting

By carefully caring for your tree, protecting it from pests and diseases, in 4-5.5 years you will be able to collect your first coffee harvest. Having noticed that flowers have appeared on the tree, it is recommended to have time to lather them. After all, their beauty is short-lived.

After 10 days, the flowers will be replaced by berries. They will ripen for about six months. Each of them contains only 2 coffee beans. The collection is done, just like the coffee beans are extracted, only by hand. Ripe berries, after being picked for about 30 days, are first dried in the sun, then they are dried in a dry black room for another month. Afterwards, you need to peel off the dried berry pulp and extract the coffee beans.

Growing a coffee tree at home is not difficult. But, like any plant, it requires attention and some care. With proper organization of its maintenance, you can become not only the owner of a lush, beautiful bush. Once collected, you will be able to prepare the most delicious coffee, grown on your home coffee plantation.

We hope that this article was useful to you, we would be grateful if you share it with your friends on social media. networks. Have a nice day and see you again!

Transfer

While the coffee tree is young, it is replanted every year. Upon reaching the age of three, the growth of the tree slows down. Accordingly, the frequency of transfers is reduced. It will need to be carried out approximately once every four years.

Replanting a plant is no different from a similar process carried out with other indoor flowers. On the contrary, replanting a coffee tree is even easier, since it has stronger roots.

Saplings

ON A NOTE! But this does not mean that you need to work sloppy. Still, try not to damage the root system.

1. First of all, prepare a pot of suitable size, proper soil and drainage.
2. First, place the drainage in a new container.
3. Then remove the plant from the old pot. This must be done using the transshipment method.
4. If old drainage is stuck to the bottom, carefully shake it off.
5. Carefully remove the old soil.
6. If you want to plant the cuttings in different pots, then place the entire plant in a bowl of warm water and carefully wash off the remaining soil. Next, carefully separate the tangled roots of each stem.
7. Sprinkle the drainage in the new pot with soil and place the seedling there.
8. Carefully add soil to the desired level and water the transplanted plant.

IMPORTANT! If you are not replanting, then change the top layer of soil. This is necessary so that the earth does not become depleted.

Distribution methods

Growing from seeds

Sprouted coffee seeds

If necessary, a coffee tree can be grown from seeds indoors. Only freshly collected seeds are suitable. The older the seeds, the less likely they are to sprout.

The substrate used for sowing must be loose and permeable to water. For example, you can use river sand mixed with leaf soil. Before sowing, sterilize the substrate by steaming it in boiling water for 10 minutes.

The seeds should not be immersed in water, but should be on the surface of the soil in the pot. Otherwise they may rot. The seeds should be spread flat on the surface of the soil. Then water the seeds with slightly warm water. Cover the container with glass or foil. Crops must be ventilated regularly: to do this, remove the cover for three hours with a frequency of 2 times every 7 days.

25 degrees is the optimal temperature for germination. However, the first shoots will appear only 6-8 weeks after sowing. Once the seedlings have a few true leaves, they can be replanted.

The seedlings will bear their first fruits in the third or fourth year of growth.

Vegetative propagation of coffee trees

Coffee tree cuttings

To grow coffee this way, take two node cuttings from last year's branches. Soak them for several hours in a growth-promoting solution such as heteroalexin. Prepared seedlings are planted in a mixture of sand and peat (1:1) to a depth of 3 cm. A drainage layer is required! Temperature and watering will be the same as for cuttings. For better rooting, it is recommended to heat the pot with cuttings.

After waiting for new leaves to grow from the buds, the shoots can be replanted. Coffee plants grown in this way begin to bear fruit the following year.

Reproduction

Coffee is propagated by seeds or vegetatively. Below we will talk about each method in a little more detail.

Propagating a coffee tree from seeds

If you are an experienced gardener, you can try to grow a coffee tree from an ordinary coffee bean.

Fruit

REFERENCE. Roasted grains will not work.

First of all, it is necessary to destroy the “shell” on the grain. To do this, you can carefully file it or soak it in a solution of hydrochloric acid. We recommend making careful cuts, as the use of chemicals can damage the seed itself.

Next, the seeds are washed with potassium permanganate and placed in a solution of a growth stimulator. Any will do.

You need loose soil, consisting of turf soil, sand, ash and peat. The seeds are placed in the soil and pressed down slightly. Then the plantings are watered and covered with film, a transparent plastic lid or a plastic bag. This is how we create a greenhouse effect inside.

There is no need to place the pot directly in the sun, but it should not be placed in the shade either. A warm place near the windowsill is best.

The seeds will germinate in about a month.

The first transplant is carried out when foliage appears.

How to propagate vegetatively

The vegetative method is the most effective and requires much less labor.

• First of all, prepare the cuttings. They should be about 8 – 10 cm long and have at least 2 buds.
• Then place the cuttings in containers and keep them warm.
• To make rooting go better, put a plastic bag on top or cover it with a jar. This will create a greenhouse effect.
• Periodically water the soil and ventilate the seedlings.
• Once the plants have taken root, they should be transplanted into permanent pots.

Propagation by cuttings

How coffee beans are grown

We recommend growing the tree from fresh seeds. They grow in 95% of cases. If the beans have been stored for several months, the chances drop to 2-3%.

Make a deep cut in the outer shell of the seed to help it germinate faster.

Before planting the coffee bean, put it in a growth stimulator overnight (we talked about them above). And in the morning, plant the seeds in loosened, slightly moist soil to a depth of 4 cm. The distance between the seeds should be 3 cm.

Water the soil with cool water and cover with a jar or plastic to create a greenhouse effect. Place the pot in a warm place.

Every two weeks, open the pot and remove any condensation. After 1-1.5 months, the planted seed will hatch and the sprouts can be transplanted into separate containers.

After a month, the coffee seeds are transplanted into a larger container.

A tree made from grains will bloom only 2-2.5 years after planting. The first grains will appear after 4 years.

How to form a crown

The coffee tree itself is highly decorative. Its shoots are weakly branched, and large beautiful leaves form a beautiful crown. In general, coffee does not require decorative pruning.

However, it all depends on the specific instance. It is necessary to regularly trim dried shoots, and it is also a good idea to remove too long branches. The fact is that they will take away the energy that the plant needs to bloom. It is better to carry out the operation in late winter - early spring.

If you doubt whether your green pet needs pruning, then it is better not to do it.

Rejuvenation

Unfortunately, about 10 years after planting, coffee begins to age. The decorative value of the plant decreases. The leaves become yellowish and limp. So, it's time to rejuvenate.

To do this, cut the stems. The procedure must be carried out with a sharp instrument so that the cuts are neat and even. Do not break the shoots under any circumstances! Even if the tree survives, it will finally lose its decorative effect and become ugly.

Don't forget to treat the cut areas with crushed activated carbon.

ON A NOTE. By the way, cuttings are taken from the cut branches for propagation.

Watering

Coffee is a water-drinker. In the spring-summer period, you need to water abundantly and often (every 2 - 3 days). But do not allow the soil in the pot to become waterlogged. Loosen the soil regularly to prevent it from clogging.

During the dormant period, watering should be reduced to once a week. In winter, simply do not allow the soil to dry out and maintain the general level of humidity.

For irrigation you need to use soft, settled water. If you have such an opportunity, water with rain or snow water. But do not forget that the liquid should be at least room temperature, and preferably a couple of degrees warmer. Cold water can cause shock to the roots, which can lead to all sorts of troubles.

Popular varieties

Coffee is not the most numerous genus of plants. There are only a few dozen species. The following plant varieties are most often grown indoors.

Arabica (Arabian coffee)

It is a low tree with oval leaves. The leaf blades have an olive tint. The flowers are very small. The fruits are burgundy.

Arabica is the most popular variety of coffee to grow indoors.

Nana (Dwarf coffee)

A very beautiful small tree (up to 80 cm) with glossy leaves. Unlike other varieties of coffee, it bears fruit very well in an apartment. Has high decorative value. Loves being sprayed.

Liberian coffee

A tree with a thin trunk and large (30-40 cm) leaves. Unlike other varieties, Liberian coffee has leaf plates that are more rounded towards the end. Fruits abundantly. The berries are yellowish-red. It lends itself well to pruning and crown shaping.

Diseases and pests

The most dangerous pests for coffee are:

• Spider mite. If an insect is detected, the plant must be immediately treated with Aktara or Karbofos.
• Shield. To get rid of this pest, the plant is first treated with soapy water and then with insecticides (for example, Karbofos).
• Aphid. They fight it in the same way as with scale insects. This pest can still be removed using regular alcohol. Dampen a cotton pad and wipe the infected leaves and shoots with it.

The most common diseases are Coffee Rust, Gommosis and Sooty Fungus . Diseases manifest themselves in different ways, but most often the leaves are affected. They become covered with brown spots and streaks, or have a black edge.

For fungal diseases, it is better to immediately use fungicides. The fungus is usually very tenacious, and traditional methods may not help. Fitosporin and copper sulfate are effective. It is also necessary to remove the affected parts of the plants to prevent the spread of the disease.

IMPORTANT! Regular preventive inspection of the plant will protect it from 99% of diseases and pests. It is always much easier to prevent a disease than to try to cure it.

How to resuscitate?

If your coffee tree is sick, you can try to save it. Depending on the condition of the plant, there are two effective methods:

• Transfer;
• Rooting cuttings.

If you have “flooded” a flower, you can save it by replanting it in a new pot. To do this, be sure to clean the roots from the old soil, treat them with potassium permanganate, sprinkle with activated carbon and carry out the procedure itself.

Please note that old soil cannot be used.

If the transplant does not help and the plant continues to wither, then the only chance is to cut healthy cuttings and root them. Alas, the old plant cannot be saved.

Common mistakes

The most common mistakes in plant care are, of course, overwatering or underwatering, as well as failure to comply with air humidity requirements. Accordingly, the tree will either begin to rot or will wither and dry out.

It is also worth remembering that in winter the temperature should not fall below 15 degrees. Coffee is a tropical plant that does not tolerate cold weather well. At this time, it is worth reducing watering and stopping the application of fertilizers.

The third most common mistake when growing this plant is using the wrong soil. Of course, an unsuitable soil mixture will not cause the death of the flower, but the decorative effect will decrease. For example, the leaves will turn pale.

Answers to popular questions

Why are my tree's leaves drying out?

This occurs due to too dry air in the room. Place saucers of water next to the pot or use an automatic humidifier. You can also put wet pebbles or other pebbles, moss, etc. in the tray.

What to do if pests appear?

First of all, the plant needs to be isolated from other flowers. Then treat with insecticides. Take your time to return the pot to its place. It is likely that you will have to process it several times.

The leaves are very pale and inconspicuous. What's happened?

As mentioned earlier, coffee loves acidic soil. Loss of decorative qualities of foliage is one of the indicators that the soil mixture is not suitable. A transplant is needed.

There are dark spots on the leaves and they fall off. What to do?

There are two reasons for this phenomenon: insufficient watering or insufficient lighting. Check the conditions of the flower. If necessary, move it and feed it.

Possible problems

Coffee tree chlorosis

If your coffee tree is not cared for properly, problems such as:

• Darkening and drying of the edges of leaf blades. The indoor air is excessively dry.
• The leaves are turning yellow. The root system has rotted.
• Brown spots form on the leaf blades. Nitrogen deficiency in the substrate.
• The appearance of holes on the leaves. It occurs as a result of sunburn.
• Young leaves turn yellow and the veins turn green. The substrate is not acidic enough.
• The leaves turn yellow, begin to rot and fall off. Stagnation of moisture may regularly occur in the soil.
• Leaves fall in winter. The bush suffers from an acute lack of light.
• Excessively slow growth. Lack of nutrients in the soil mixture.
• The leaves wrinkle and yellow spots appear. Lack of potassium or soil wetting with hard water.
• The leaf blades are covered with brown or purple spots. Too little phosphorus in the substrate.
• Young leaves are bright yellow and very small. This is a symptom of iron deficiency.
• The most common pests that attack plants are powdery mildew, lepidoptera and spider mites.

Interesting Facts

In addition to aesthetic benefits, coffee also brings practical benefits. The tree acts as a kind of filter, cleansing the room of impurities and toxins.

There are also repeated reviews that the coffee tree has a sedative effect, calms the nerves, removes stress and fills a person with new strength.

If you want to make coffee from home-grown coffee beans, keep in mind that the drink will be much stronger than store-bought coffee. This is due to the fact that homemade coffee has a higher concentration of caffeine.

In the teachings of Feng Shui, it is believed that the presence of a coffee tree in a house helps to increase the wealth of its inhabitants.

Esotericists advise placing a tree in the bedroom, as they believe that it strengthens mutual feelings.

How to get rid of dark circles under the eyes at home

And yet, is it possible to get rid of dark circles for good? It is quite difficult to permanently get rid of dark circles and bags under the eyes if you already have them. Of course, if we are not talking about young people under 25 years old. Sometimes it is enough for them to change their lifestyle to a healthier one in order to see how after a couple of weeks the puffiness goes away, the skin under the eyes brightens and becomes more elastic and radiant.

Another thing is the older age group. After 40 years, all processes in the body slow down, cell regeneration does not occur as quickly as we would like, the sagging of the soft tissues of the face programmed by nature gradually becomes obvious, and the skin of the upper eyelid becomes heavier. Not only proper nutrition, healthy sleep, lifestyle and proper drinking regimen will help, but also cosmetics and even the help of professionals - cosmetologists and aesthetic medicine specialists. Don't neglect camouflage either. At your service:

1. 1
   concealer;
2. 2
   toning agents.

The bad news: blue discoloration caused by genetic characteristics cannot be completely removed or prevented. The good news is that we have some recommendations to help you.

General recommendations

Is it possible to get rid of dark circles under the eyes at home? Completely - no, but something can be done.

Express methods against dark circles, bags and wrinkles under the eyes

Choose your cosmetics wisely. In the list of eye cream ingredients, look for:

• caffeine;
• escin;
• dextran;
• extracts with a draining effect, such as seaweed or horse chestnut.

All these components accelerate blood flow, improving the removal of dark venous blood from the capillaries. Products with vitamins C and A will help lighten yellow pigmentation, and proper hydration and stimulation of the synthesis of natural proteins (collagen and elastin) is necessary for every skin type.

Protect your skin from the sun. UV rays not only promote the appearance of unwanted pigmentation in the eye area, but also release free radicals, which leads to the breakdown of collagen and elastin molecules in skin cells.

To protect your skin and prevent its condition from worsening, do not forget about sunglasses and creams with SPF.

Salon treatments

Since dark circles under the eyes are one of the most common problems, beauty salons offer a wide range of services to help solve them.

• Lipofilling - filling the voids around the eyes with your own fat. First, fat is removed from the patient using lipoaspiration, usually from the hips and knees, then it is cleaned, prepared for transplantation, and injected into problem areas using needles. This method is suitable for those whose problem is thin skin under the eyes. But it is worth considering that fat is prone to resorption over time.
• Dermotonia - massage using vacuum. This procedure has a draining effect and can reduce swelling of the eyelids, as well as accelerate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, the lack of which can cause age-related dark circles around the eyes.
• Mesotherapy - it uses individually selected cocktails based on hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, which are injected under the skin. This way they work much more effectively than in cream. This procedure is quite well tolerated and has a short recovery period.

Cosmetical tools

How to reduce circles under the eyes is a question that many women ask cosmetologists. The first thing that immediately comes to mind is cosmetics. Look for substances such as caffeine, extracts of parsley, horse chestnut, microalgae, escin, vitamins A and C.

Home Recipes

If bags and dark circles under the eyes are a constant problem, we recommend that you always have on hand products that you can prepare yourself at home. They help to some extent remove dark circles under the eyes.

Ice

Freeze water in an ice container, perhaps with chamomile or parsley, and in the morning, if you feel it is necessary, make compresses by applying ice cubes to the skin of the eyelids.

Decoctions

Parsley decoctions are good for lightening the skin. Brew parsley root, let it brew, freeze the broth. Apply to eyelids as compresses in the morning.

Cold

Keep eye products in the refrigerator (unless directed according to the storage instructions on the package). Cold has a good effect on blood vessels and drives away swelling.

Massage

Sometimes massage can help get rid of wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. We have already written in detail on this topic, you can read it here.
