Hey Julie, I'm not going to offer advice but would like to hear about "everything" you have tried so far.
I have heard of some pretty exotic treatments..scalding...sandpapering.... nicking...iba solutions at different ppm...so what have you tried so far? I'm not able to sprout any coffee beans no matter what I do or where I buy them. So I love hearing about different and sucessful solutions to overcoming the odds.The coffee Plants do just fine for me. I'm a reasonably studied guy, but so much of what we "mad scientist" plant types do, is manage 3 different micro-climates inside our gas-heated homes. I can use all the help I can get, so I'll be looking forward to the answer to your queston.... |

I’ve tried - Soaking them
- pealing off the outer layer - rubbing them with sand paper - pouring boiling water on them Planting them in - potting soil -50% sand - peat Maybe I need a combination of the above?? Anyways I’m running out of seeds to experiment on. Good luck with the coffee beans ( I have 2 coffee plants, there grate ) Julie |
