| I just received my little coffee plant (arabica) I got for $5 from michigan bulbs. I did a tad of research on growing coffee in Florida (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/hs306) where I learned that it is a relative of Ixora, gardenia, portlandia, and pentas. Does this mean I can use fertilizer suitable for the above on the coffee plant? There was also a great article on the Sweet Maria's website (http://www.sweetmarias.com/growingcoffee/Growing_Coffee_at_Home.html) . Does anyone have any experience and tips they would like to share with me so I get it to grow strong and healthy? Thanks |

| I was just thinking that back in the day they used to grow them with a really rich dark soil, I don't know all what was added, I just know the soil affected the quality and taste of the plant so you really need to look into it. Also a microclimate affects the quality of the bean, growing coffee is quite complex. |
