🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

  • Botanical Name: Coffea arabica x Coffea liberica (S288 Selection)

  • Common Name / Synonym: S288 Coffee / Arabica-Liberica Hybrid / Indian Natural Selection

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

  • Sun Requirements: Full sun to partial shade (Performs exceptionally well in bright open sunlight or light dappled shade when cultivated in tropical and highland regional microclimates).

  • Soil / Medium: Thrives in a rich, loose, highly well-draining deep volcanic loam or organic 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 dense cherry cluster development.

  • Growth Habit: A vigorous, robust, and exceptionally productive evergreen shrub featuring large broad dark green leaves, strong branching, fragrant clusters of white star-shaped blossoms, and uniform coffee cherries maturing to bright red.

  • Temperature: Thrives in warm tropical and subtropical 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 S288 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!
