🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Coffea arabica var. SL28

• Common Name / Synonym: SL28 Arabica / Scott Laboratories Kenya Selection / Gourmet African Coffee

• Plant Type: Tropical and subtropical evergreen 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 high-altitude 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, productive evergreen shrub featuring characteristic bronze-tipped new growth, broad glossy leaves, fragrant clusters of white star-shaped 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 SL28 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!
