Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.
Prune Coffea boinensis to maintain its desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done year-round, with heavier pruning best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Coffea boinensis is typically propagated by seeds, which require specific conditions to germinate. Cuttings can also be taken from mature plants, but these may be slower to establish.
Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, vigorous growth.
Repot your Coffea boinensis every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for acid-loving plants, and repot in the spring.
