Coffee Plant

[Reweed]

Has anyone ever grown a coffee plant from seed or cutting before?

Any advice, pictures etc?

Bought myself a 8inch plant from Eden Project last week, it looks mega healthy.

But...

As with anything i tend to buy as a plant, they don't stay looking great for long.

Any advice would be grreeaatt.

is it a fair trade!
how long before you get a cuppa out of it.

apparently 6 years before it flowers, and thats if it flowers. have to keep it pretty constantly at like 85 degrees or something.

It's a pretty cool looking little plant though, looks almost plastic.

constant temp and air pressure IIRC....will be the best f**king cup of coffee ever

if it takes 6 years it needs to be the best cuppa ever may be you could turn your attention to tea growing!

fancy getting a tea plant as well. infact any plant that not many people from just to say "oh i've got one of those"

[Shaun]

you could start your own tea and coffe plantation or even your own chain of cofee shops.

A cacao plant, that's a thought but will prob just be that. I imagine it would be difficult to grow.
