Ideal Temperature
Water: Swedish coffee, originating from arid regions, thrives with minimal moisture and demonstrates strong drought tolerance. It requires infrequent watering, ideally every week, and is well-suited for xeriscaping due to its resilience and ability to endure full sun exposure.
Fertilize: For swedish coffee, utilize balanced fertilizers for steady growth, applying high-nitrogen boosts seasonally. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during active growth, reducing to every 2-3 months when dormant. Use one tablespoon per square foot, avoiding contact with stems. Water after fertilization for optimal nutrient uptake.
Pruning: Swedish coffee features delicate leaves and coffee-like seeds. Prune in early to late spring to remove dead growth, enhance air circulation, and shape the plant. Regular pruning prevents diseases and pests. Use sharp, sterilized tools for clean cuts.
Propagation: Swedish coffee is propagated by sowing fresh seeds, preferably soaked overnight for optimal germination. Plant in well-draining soil, lightly covered, and maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Seedlings need ample sunlight and gradual hardening off before transplanting to their final location.
