"adding grounds" caffine retards root growth apparently, plus to the soil is maybe a bad idea as fungi loves grounds and coffee plants are highly sensitive to certain common fungi. Do add some phosorus and potassium for root growth, and magnesium for leave production.
I find the regular natural humidity of Florida is plenty, a misting system is not necessary. Place the cuttings under the deep shade of a large oak tree or similar with watering every couple days is plenty. A weekly treatment with miracle grow with some supplemental epsom salt via a MG brand sprayer will boost you up to around a 90% successful cutting rate and get the roots growing faster.
All good advice. I think what was misunderstood by the student was the natural environment where coffee comes from, mostly that it goes through very lengthy dry periods. Even saplings need to be hearty enough to handle periods of drought and often require it in order to develop properly.
Very interesting! Is it possible that the leaves can propagate as well? I noticed tiny sprouts in the same pot my coffee plant is in. Not sure if it's something the wind brought into the pot or if it's offspring from the original plant. Thank you!
i dont know if coffea can be propagated by leaf but id say it possibly can as psychotria sp. can and they are closely related member of the coffee family

Were the results of this written up anywhere? I'd like to read more about the results. Thanks!
Took me 3 months to root in fluffy soil. 50% with the help of this vid and even got hardwood rooting. Horticultural oil got rid of my mold.

Do you have any plants you'd like to sell??
Or seeds..???

wow, i love it. when in fact i bought my trees with a hal dollar a seed.
Good job! Excellent video!!!
Can't wait for my plants to get here! I plan on harvesting, propagating and selling my own here in Missouri
Merci! Très belle vidéo et informative. Je vais essayer votre méthode.
amazing !!! this was the exact kind of video i was hoping to find. hopefully my cutting will root soon

thank you for sharing your video .beautiful lady I planning to start and propegate cutting method for coffee .thank you and more powers
Wow, Thank u very much for all the helpful info,will try
Very nice experiment
Nice
Why did you cut leaves when you cut the nodes propagations??
its a trick to half transpiration, but seeing as they went into a mist room it wouldnt matter much.
