Kona Coffee Bean - 15 Seeeds - Gourmet/Tropical

My coffee plants are doing great. It's been almost two years but they've only grown from 2 inches to about 2 anea half feet. They grow slowly. But they are healthy and I'm happy with my order.

After reading what I had to do to raise this plant I became very disappointed. When I read about how little coffee I could grow and the amount of time needed I should have read more before purchasing it. The ad was very honest and the review by others were honest when they said "If you can wait long enough it makes a very attractive house plant". The price was low enough that it was worth the trial.

I read the reviews on this product after I bought them, so I was disappointed. I am glad I read the reviews after, as I would not have purchased the seeds. I was determined to figure a way to get the seeds to grow, so I googled how to germinate the seeds. This search produced a bunch of ways to get them to germinate, so I tried this tried and true method. I damped a paper towel and put the seeds in between the moist towel and in a ziplock bag. The next day I checked the seeds and rubbed a layer off of the seeds...the paper towel will become brown. I changed the paper towel with a new one, and in a few days the towel will become green. I noticed that after 5 days of starting this process I have the first sign of a root. The key is to keep the bag & towel moist and get a little bit of direct sunlight each day. I start all of my seeds this way including blood orange seeds. I hope this review gives you hope that you can grow a coffee tree/bush...or how ever many you want.

Put a few seeds in water over night, then into a plastic bag, to help with the germination process. This last about three weeks. I must have over heated them has there were several days they received direct sun. Anyway, no germination. I'll try again, and hope for the best.

I tried the different ways to make these seeds sprout but so far I have not seen a single sprout and for a good while I had them in a damp paper towel so that I could check to see if there is any progress. I thought one looked like it had something coming out of the seeds when I put them in soil but it could have been mold and not a sprout because it has been a few weeks and so far nothing is coming up out of the soil. I only did half of them so this time I am going to try and nick the husk just a bit so that the moisture can get into the seed. I recall doing something like this on something else that I planted and it seemed to work well. But I will not upgrade the score unless I can get at least one to sprout.

These seeds are fine but just know before you buy that coffee takes a long time to grow

Okay, before I had bought the product, I had read the reviews and wasn't too pleased. If you don't know what you're doing and you're just holding to plant the seeds, you will fail. You have to know what you're doing and how to take care of the plant. The seeds came a lot earlier than I expected and also gave me bonus seeds just for ordering! That was awesome! The only bad part was, about half the seeds were broken. I mean, it didn't really bother me much but I sent an email explains what had happened and they messaged me back saying they sent new seeds to me, and are already on the way.. I was so pleased, way more then what I was expecting and everything. They have AMAZING customer service and amazing products. Don't be fooled by the other reviews. I would DEFINATLY DEFINATLY order from them again! Don't be fooled by the other people! Thank you so much!

I purchased these seeds expecting to have a wonderful experience growing my own coffee tree, I followed the rules on how to plant the seeds.... It was all a failure, not satisfied at all!!! Not one of the seeds sprouted nothing happened, could of spendy money on something better.
