Soil for coffee plant: what to look for? Make your coffee plant thrive!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, I’ve been meaning to get into growing my own coffee. I mean, who wouldn’t want fresh beans right from their backyard, right? But let me tell you, figuring out the right soil was a bigger headache than I thought it would be. I’m no expert, but I did learn a thing or two along the way, which I’m gonna spill here.

First off, I tried using just regular garden soil. Yeah, big mistake. The plants looked sad, not growing much. That’s when I started digging around on the internet. Some folks mentioned something about pH levels and whatnot. Sounded too complicated, but I knew I had to do something different.

My Soil Mixing Adventure

So, I decided to get my hands dirty, literally. I grabbed some:

  • Peat moss – because I read it helps with holding water, which coffee plants apparently love.
  • Perlite – those little white rocks, they’re supposed to help with drainage.
  • Compost – you know, the good stuff from food scraps and leaves. It’s like a superfood for plants.

Mixing them was kind of fun, to be honest. I aimed for a mix that felt light and fluffy when I squeezed a handful, not like clay or mud. I didn’t really measure anything, just eyeballed it. I went for roughly equal parts, but a bit more peat moss since my garden soil felt a bit heavy.

Then, I repotted my sad-looking coffee plants into this new mix. Fingers crossed, I started watering them, making sure the soil stayed moist but not soaking wet, like a wrung-out sponge. That’s what someone online suggested, and it sounded right to me.

Seeing the Results

And guess what? After a few weeks, I started noticing a big difference. The plants were perking up, the leaves looked greener and they were actually growing! It was such a relief. I even got a few flowers, which was super exciting.

So, yeah, that’s my journey with coffee plant soil. It wasn’t all smooth, but I got there in the end. It’s pretty cool to see how a little change in soil can make such a big difference. Now, I’m no pro or anything, but if you’re thinking of growing coffee, don’t just stick it in any dirt. Do a bit of mixing and see what happens. It’s worth the effort, trust me!
