Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when growth slows, but do not let the soil become completely arid.
Coffea ankaranensis is a rare species of coffee native to Madagascar, characterized by its unique arboreal growth and potential for new coffee varieties.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when growth slows, but do not let the soil become completely arid.
Prune lightly to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth. Major pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to avoid excessive sap loss.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.
Patience is key as roots can take several weeks to form.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Repot in spring to allow the plant to establish before the growing season.
