Water
Maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent standing water.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent standing water.
Prune to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches.
Pruning can be done at any time, but major pruning is best undertaken in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate primarily through stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, which can take several weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one formulated for coffee plants or a general peat-based mix with added perlite.
