Sorry everyone- I accidentally posted this in the Citrus Forum. My apologies, I think this might be a better fit in the Container Forum�

Jessica

you may try in the tropical fruits forum also.

FYI, I have a number of coffee trees on my Meyer lemon farm in Guatemala (All in ground, not containers); but I treat them exactly the same as my Meyers, and they seem to thrive.

Hey Jessica!

So good to see you? How are your citrus trees doing?

Your coffee trees will thrive in the gritty mix as well as just about any other plant!

If you're still checking here, I just wanted to say that my coffee plant is doing great in gritty mix. I did have to water rather frequently in the beginning until it developed more roots. Now it gets watered on the regular schedule (weekly, with a check at mid-week) with the rest of my indoor plants.

Thanks for the input everyone!

Hi Mike- The Meyer is doing well, thanks. Only one little lemon this year, but I am super excited to have it!

From what I read on line, it would seem that if I treat my coffee plant the same as my Meyer, it just might survive.

I think I will transplant it this weekend. Wish me luck!

Thanks Again!!!

The finest coffee in the world (Guatemalan) is mostly grown on volcanic soils; and as with citrus grown on volcanic soil, they require added Phosphorus, which is there, but tied up by the soil; I'm not sure about the gritty mix, but anyhow, most balanced fertilizers include "extra" Phosphorus, meaning a higher ratio than either coffee or citrus need.
