Can we really grow a coffee plant out of green beans straight from the jute bags? - Barista Exchange2024-03-28T15:48:21Zhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/forum/topics/can-we-really-grow-a-coffee?feed=yes&xn_auth=noI planted like 20 seeds from…tag:www.baristaexchange.com,2011-08-07:1688216:Comment:12275802011-08-07T22:47:38.156ZAndrew Unruhhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/AndrewUnruh
<p>I planted like 20 seeds from some dry processed harrar in a flower bed. After like a month, one popped up, crazy cause I didnt even plan on it working. So I assume a dry processed bean has a better chance then another form of processing. Gurneys is a nursery company that sells coffee plants already started.</p>

<p>Very low chance of making it. Coffee moisture content for shipping is set at 11%, that is the standard for the 100 lb sack. The moisture content needed for a seed to stay "alive" and germinate is 25%.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You could get a few beans to sprout but it will be lesser number.</p>

Sounds like fun! I too have been heavily considering growing some coffee at home. This article got me pumped about giving it a try.

I have germinated seeds right out of the bag. It's hard. And most of the beans that you plant won't work. Soak them in water for several days, until you see the little embryo pop out. Then plant. Then wait. a. very. long. time. People will ask why you have so many little dirt pots sitting around your house.
