🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Coffea arabica x Coffea canephora var. Icatu

• Common Name / Synonym: Icatu Coffee / Brazilian Hybrid Coffee / Resistant Specialty Arabica

• Plant Type: Tropical and subtropical evergreen multi-stemmed shrub / perennial commercial crop

• Sun Requirements: Partial shade to filtered bright sunlight (Prefers dappled shade or morning sun with protection from intense, scorching midday rays to support lush foliage development and healthy cherry maturation).

• Soil / Medium: Thrives in a rich, loose, volcanic, highly well-draining loamy soil mix amended with abundant organic matter and a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 6.5).

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the active growing and fruiting season. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root saturation, and reduce watering slightly during cooler dormant periods.

• Growth Habit: A vigorous, large evergreen shrub featuring strong branching, attractive wavy-edged leaves, fragrant clusters of white star-shaped blossoms, and large coffee cherries maturing to bright red or yellow depending on the strain.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm tropical and subtropical highland environments (Ideal temperature range: 18°C to 28°C / 64°F to 82°F). Protect from harsh frost and freezing temperatures.

🌱 Pro Growing Tip: To accelerate and maximize germination success with your Icatu Coffee seeds, de-husk the parchment gently if needed, soak the seeds in clean warm water for 24 to 48 hours prior to planting, and sow them flat-side down in a warm, loose, sterile, highly organic seed-starting medium under 50% shade!
