Coffea Arabica is mainly propagated by seeds. However, to propagate it by stem cuttings, the use of orthotropic shoots is recommended, since cuttings from the lateral branches will maintain plagiotropic growth habits (Coste, 1992).

Keep in mind it's highly unlikely that you'll grow a coffee plant from a bean that's already been roasted. Once you've either extracted the beans from the cherry or purchased green coffee beans alone, you're ready to plant. For your initial potting, you need the right soil. ...

While coffee plants can live up to 100 years, they are generally the most productive between the ages of 7 and 20.
