3. Coffee bean potting soil and environmental requirements

In order to ensure that coffee beans can grow and develop well, it is very important to choose the right soil. Generally speaking, soil rich in organic matter, well-drained and with a pH value of 6-6.5 is best.

As for fertilization, you can choose organic fertilizer or special plant nutrient solution. Fertilization once every two months or so can meet the nutrients needed by the plant. In addition, regular management work such as timely pruning of branches and leaves, removal of pests and diseases, etc. is also required during the growth period.

5. The ornamental value and aroma characteristics of coffee bean potted plants

Coffee bean potted plants are not only ornamental, but also emit a unique coffee aroma.

These characteristics make coffee bean potted plants a highlight of home decoration.
