Common name:
Catura coffee

Origin:
Ethiopia

Description:
Catura coffee has become quite popular with coffee producers the last few years, because the taste is pretty good, the yields are high and the plants can be cultivated in full sun. That means that there aren’t any trees required on the coffee plantations to provide shelter against the sun, which is why they can be harvested more easily. Also, the plants stay quite small, making them ideal as a houseplant. It’s a variety of the well-known Arabica coffee species. 

Germination instructions:
First soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 48 hours. Then sow with the flat side down in sowing mix. Let them germinate at 25 degC and keep the soil constantly moist. 

Sowing time:
All year round
