The easy-care coffee plant does not tolerate waterlogging, so the soil in which it stands should be permeable. Use commercially available potting soil for indoor or container plants. If necessary, mix in sand and gravel or clay granules.
Which soil is best for the coffee plant?
Permeable and humus-rich soil is suitable for a coffee plant, ideally commercially available indoor or pot plant soil. If necessary, this can be loosened up with clay granules, sand or gravel. The soil should not dry out completely.
This makes the earth a little more permeable. This is especially important if your coffee plant is in the garden or on the balcony and has to endure occasional downpours. For large plants, make sure they have sufficient stability. Only water your coffee plant when the soil is slightly dry.
The most important things in brief:
- well drained and humic
- commercially available indoor or pot plant soil
- if necessary loosen with clay granules or something similar
- should not dry out completely
- Do not fertilize coffee plants in fresh soil
Tip
If your coffee plant is outside in summer, the soil should be particularly permeable, otherwise waterlogging can easily occur after a downpour.
