How to raise bonsai coffee trees Potted cultivation method of coffee wood

Coffee is a perennial evergreen shrub or small tree of the Rubiaceae family, which is a horticultural perennial cash crop with the characteristics of fast growth, high yield, high value and wide market. Wild coffee trees can grow to 5 to 10 meters tall, but the coffee trees grown on the estate are often cut to a height of less than 2 meters in order to increase the amount of fruit and facilitate harvesting.

First, the key points of breeding:

1) Soil requirements: Strictly speaking, coffee also prefers weakly acidic soils, but the requirements are not very strict. Therefore, both the garden soil and the three-in-one soil can ensure its normal growth.

If some fermented rice washing water is properly poured during the growing period, it will help to maintain the acidity of the soil. You don't need to wash rice water, you can use ordinary dried tap water, and it will grow well.

2) Watering is dry and wet, the water demand for small seedlings is large, and a little carelessness will cause the seedlings to dry slightly, so be very careful, and the potting soil should not be too dry. After a year, the seedlings will be more drought tolerant, even if the water is slightly insufficient, it will not affect their growth too much.

3) Light: Coffee likes light, and without sunlight, it will grow poorly. However, in summer, it is also avoided to be exposed to the sun, which will cause damage to the leaves, so it is best to spend the summer in a place with scattered light;

4) Fertilization: Coffee does not have high requirements for fertilizer. I usually use a horseshoe directly into the pot and use watering to slowly dissolve and release the fertilizer.

5) Repotting. Once a year. Remove the old roots and plant them in a new pot with some of the original soil.

2. Precautions:

1) Coffee is a tree, so during the growth period, the leaves below will gradually grow old and yellow, which is a normal phenomenon of plant growth, do not panic, pay attention to clean up the old leaves and yellow leaves in time;

2) It takes three years for coffee to bloom. The flower has a jasmine-like aroma, which is lighter than jasmine, and has the bitterness of coffee in the aftertaste. The flowering period is from February --- May, and the flowers are continuous. Fruiting after flowering. The fruit is green. No manual pollination is required.

3) If you want the coffee tree to flourish and flourish, you need to properly tip it to promote the germination of its side branches and have a beautiful crown.

4) As the coffee tree grows older, the trunk will become lignified, the color of the stem will turn green to yellowish-brown, and the skin will be cracked. It's normal, don't mind.

The leaves of the coffee wood grow in layers, implying that they are rising step by step. It is a small potted foliage plant that is suitable for office farming. So how to raise coffee wood? Next, I will introduce to you the pot cultivation method of coffee wood.

Acclimatization temperature:

The suitable temperature for growth is 18-25 degrees.

Growth Habits:

Prefers warm, humid and sunny environments. Not tolerant of cold, impatient with bright light. Prefers deep, loose, fertile and well-drained acidic soils.

Planting:

Buy potted plants at the flower market and maintain them until the following spring. The culture soil can be used in humus, garden soil and sandy soil at a ratio of 5:3:

2 ratios for formulation. The base fertilizer uses well-rotted chicken manure, pig manure, etc., and the application rate is 1 20 of the potting soil. When planting Yinchang planting, you can put some small broken tiles or stones at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage.

After potting, water thoroughly and place in semi-shade. Wait for the new leaves to move to a sunny place.

Watering:

Coffee wood as a potted ornamental, the growing period should keep the potting soil moist, watering should master the principle of dry and wet, that is, watering should be almost dry in the entire potting soil before watering, and to water thoroughly, to ensure that dry and wet alternately, do not let the potting soil too dry or too wet.

Fertilization:

Coffee wood is more like fertilizer, but because of the application of base fertilizer during planting, the growth period only needs to apply 1 time a month to rot the bean cake fertilizer water or apply general stove residue fertilizer can be, in order to ensure the soil. Acidic, water ferrous sulfate solution or alum fertilizer water once every 20 days.

Pest Control:

Potted coffee wood has few pests and diseases. If there is leaf spot and anthracnose, it can be sprayed with Bordeaux liquid for prevention and control.

Placement Environment:

The potted plants should usually be placed indoors in a bright place or in the open air in a shaded place, so the coffee wood is not patient with the cold, so it should never be placed outdoors in autumn and winter.

Breeding Method:

Coffee wood is mostly sown and propagated, and it needs to be sown with picking and sowing to ensure the germination rate. Because most of the family potted plants are not suitable for seed production, and it is slightly difficult to sow and reproduce, it is recommended that lovers who like coffee wood go to the flower market to buy potted plants.

In botanical, the coffee tree belongs to the evergreen tree of the coffee subgenus of the Rubiaceae family, and the commonly known coffee beans are actually the seeds of the coffee tree, only because the shape is like beans, so it is called coffee beans.

1.Potted coffee trees should be given plenty of light in winter and shaded in other seasons. In addition, watering requires that the topsoil be dried before watering, not too wet.

High air humidity is required, and warm water must be sprayed frequently to the whole plant in winter, and the water temperature is about 20, not cold water! Avoid air conditioners and radiators! The optimal temperature is between 15 and 25, and I don't like very high temperatures!

Fertilization should be carried out in small quantities and many times within the suitable temperature range.

2.The seeds of coffee tree propagation are sown in loose humus soil, and the soil temperature is maintained at 25-35 days during the day, 15-20 at night, and seedlings emerge in 20-30 days. The seedlings are 20 cm high, and they have ornamental value when potted.

After changing the pot every year, apply the farmer's ripe fertilizer and light liquid every 15 days, flowering and fruiting in 2-3 years, plant height and rice in 4-6 years, the leaves are beautiful and fruitful, and the best ornamental period is reached. Avoid exposure to the scorching sun, and semi-shaded scattered light grows best.

Probably because of the cold weather, my pot was moved into the house three weeks ago, and it is important to pay attention to changing the pot, the coffee beans grow quickly and then you can apply some fertilizer properly.

To plant a coffee pot, you should first select suitable seeds, cut and peel them, then soak them in water for 3 hours, prepare a 3:2:2 prepared peat, perlite and vermiculite mixed soil, sow the seeds directly on the soil, cover the soil and water it in a ventilated place for maintenance, and the seedlings can germinate and emerge in a month in spring and autumn, and the seedlings can be transplanted and maintained after growing true leaves.

To plant a coffee pot, the seeds must be treated first, first of all, the selected healthy and full coffee tree seeds are cut, and a knife is used to cut out a small hole, and then the outer skin is peeled off along the small mouth to leave only the kernels, and then it is soaked in cold water for 3 hours to make it germinate better after sowing.

It is necessary to prepare suitable potting soil for planting, as long as the pot has good air permeability, and then choose loose and breathable soil that is not easy to accumulate water, you can directly use garden soil for planting, or you can choose to mix and prepare 3:2:2 peatsoil, perlite and vermiculite.

The most important method of growing coffee pots is to sow the seeds, spread them directly on the soil, and then cover them with a thin layer of soil. Water the soil to provide plenty of moisture for the coffee seeds, and then place them in a ventilated area to cure.

Generally, the seeds will germinate about a month after sowing in spring and autumn, and in the summer, when the temperature is higher, the seeds will germinate faster, and the seeds will grow small seedlings in only 7 to 10 days. After that, the temperature is controlled, the water and fertilizer management is done, and when the seedlings grow true leaves, the seedlings can be transplanted into new pots for maintenance.

Coffee belt: Coffee cannot be grown in any environment, because it is a plant that grows in a tropical rainforest environment, and in the process of phylogeny, it forms the habit of requiring quiet wind, cool, shaded or semi-shaded and humid environment. We call the strip-like area on both sides of the equator, between 25 degrees north and south latitude, suitable for the growth of coffee trees, as the coffee belt.

Temperature: The temperature requirements vary with the cultivated species, and the small-grain varieties are more cold-tolerant and prefer a warm and cool climate, requiring an average annual temperature of 19 21 degrees.

Rainfall: The annual rainfall is more than 1250 mm, evenly distributed, especially in the flowering period and small fruit development period, there is a certain amount of rainfall that is most suitable for the growth and development of coffee.

Light: Coffee trees are not tolerant of strong light and need proper shade, too much light can inhibit growth. If you add insufficient water and fertilizer, premature aging and even death will occur. The shade is excessive, the branches and leaves are too long, the flowers and fruits are scarce, and the yield is very low.

Wind: Coffee prefers a quiet wind environment.

Soil: The coffee tree has a well-developed root system and shallow distribution of absorbing roots, requiring loose, fertile and well-drained loam.

1. Soil: Loose soil, high nutrient content and good drainage should be used for planting coffee trees, which is very suitable for cultivating coffee trees.

2. Moisture: The appropriate amount of water in the soil can make it grow vigorously, but the water should not be too much and not too little, generally making the soil layer.

3. Nutrients: When fertilizing, it is often made by mixing human feces and water with water, and sprinkled on the soil of coffee trees, which can promote the absorption of its roots and leaves.

4. Light: It does not like strong light, and should be properly shaded and suitable for soft light. Too much intense light will cause it to stop growing, and even premature aging will occur.

1. Pruning: During the growth of coffee trees, many small branches and buds will grow, and there will also be diseased and dry branches and leaves, so it is necessary to prune them off to avoid infecting other robust plants.

2. Reproduction: Select strong seedlings and plant them in nutrient-rich soil. Then spray some water to moisten the soil cover ear soil, so that it can survive, and transplanting seedlings is easy to survive.

1. Leaf rust: Dog days are humid and stuffy, and it is easy to suffer from leaf rust at this time. The protection method of the withered cover is to prune off the branches that have already developed leaf rust, spray them with suitable agents, and then water and fertilize them more, so that they can absorb sufficient nutrients, and the phenomenon of leaf rust will disappear in about a week.

2. Coffee Tiger Cattle: This kind of insect pest is more difficult to deal with all, generally in the winter to remove the worm dry, and then burn off its larvae or large insects collectively, so that the effect of eliminating the coffee Tiger Beef will be much stronger.

1. Ripening time: The ripening time of the fruit is from November to February of the second year, and these three months are the ripening period of the coffee tree fruit. The fruit is picked in batches and then stored in a sealed environment.

2. Whether it can be rained: It can be rained, and when the rainfall is sufficient, it will be more suitable for the growth of coffee trees.
