Some two months ago I've bought coffee plant and transferred it into hydroculture. It's alive and makes new leaves. It looks great, even better than two other coffee trees, that I have in soil. But I can't find on the internet anything about cultivating coffee in hydroculture. Do you have any practice in cultivating plants in hydroculture especially coffee trees? Helena
It's done on a limited scale here in Ecuador, usually for sustaining plants while the fields are being prepared for them. They don't seem to have any issues being grown hydroponically, and certainly they do get bigger, since they're very heavy feeders.
a store I called on a number of years ago did a handful of these in a sample grow room, they grew really well, long photoperiod, fairly strong concentration of minerals and keeping the water clean (changing out the reservoir regularly and using a small percentage of H2O2 seemed to be their regiment). they flowered and seeded in the grow room, at about 6 feet tall.
I've made some photos of two of my three coffee trees this is my hydroculture plant and this is my plant in soil I've got it 5 years but it never made flowers yet. I've got another one, it's about 2m high but it isn't very pretty cause when I received it it was sick of overdosing nutrients. ps how do you attach photos?
