Coffee plants make beautiful houseplants that add a tropical accent to any room, while producing delicious coffee cherries that add an irresistibly delicious touch to morning coffee brew. But to achieve maximum production from one, exact care must be given with respect to both health and growth – no one-size-fits-all approach will suffice here!

Coffee plants thrive in tropical environments and need to be kept at an ideal temperature both day and night, while enjoying ample sunshine. A rich, well-draining soil with a pH value between 6-6.5 is best, while high nitrogen fertilizers such as our Plantura Organic Flower Compost provide all of their necessary nutrients while improving soil structure and drainage.

Coffee trees should not be exposed directly to direct sunlight and should instead be planted where they will receive indirect light with lots of shade, as well as ample water and humidity for their optimal growth.

Note that coffee plants are susceptible to the same diseases and pests that plague other plants, so to protect a healthy coffee crop it should be protected with natural methods like crop rotation, intercropping and biopesticide use.

Organic farming requires long-term commitment and takes more time than conventional production, leading to higher costs but rewarding many consumers seeking healthier food and beverage options.

Farmers who wish to market their produce as organic must register with an oversight body or control agency and comply with all of the rules set by an organic certification board.

Making the choice to grow an organic coffee plant can help ensure that your beans are free from chemicals and other toxins, while at the same time being more sustainable due to requiring less water than non-organic beans.

Organic coffee offers several distinct advantages, including more natural flavors and reduced environmental impacts. Organic farming practices help decrease chemical runoff into rivers and streams, protecting local ecosystems.

Organic farms rely on crop rotation, covering crops with mulch and employing other techniques to control weeds. Furthermore, they may use natural methods of pest management such as introducing beneficial insects onto the farm or employing organic biopesticides as pest management measures.

As organic certification incurs additional operating costs, organic coffee tends to cost more than its non-organic counterpart. Labor and equipment requirements, along with extra work involved in maintaining traceability all add up to an increased price tag; but its health and environmental benefits make up for any price differential.
