🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Coffea arabica var. Limu

• Common Name / Synonym: Limu Arabica / Ethiopian Forest Coffee / Ethiopian Highland Specialty Coffee

• 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 replicate its native misty highland forest understory environment).

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

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the active growing and fruiting season. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root saturation, and maintain steady moisture to support cherry development.

• Growth Habit: A vigorous, productive evergreen shrub featuring glossy green foliage, strong structural lateral branching, fragrant clusters of white star-shaped jasmine-scented blossoms, and uniform coffee cherries maturing to bright red.

• 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 Limu 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!
