Conditions for growing coffee trees

Coffee belt: coffee can not be grown in any environment, because it is originally a plant growing in a tropical rain forest, and in phylogeny, it forms the habit of requiring calm wind, cool, shaded or semi-shaded and humid environment. We call the strips on both sides of the equator between latitudes 25 degrees south and north suitable for the growth of coffee trees as coffee belts.

Temperature: the temperature requirements vary with the cultivated species, small seed species are more cold-resistant, like warm and cool climate, the average annual temperature is 19-21 degrees.

Rainfall: annual rainfall of more than 1250 mm, uniform distribution, especially in the flowering and small fruit development period, there is a certain amount of rainfall is most suitable for the growth and development of coffee.

Light: coffee trees are not resistant to strong light and need proper shade. The light is too strong and their growth is inhibited. If you add in the lack of water and fertilizer, there will be premature senility and even death. The shade is excessive, the branches and leaves are too long, the flowers and fruits are scarce and the yield is very low.

Wind: coffee likes a quiet breeze.

Soil: coffee tree has well-developed roots, shallow distribution of absorbing roots, and requires loose, fertile and well-drained loam.
