- I show you what about a year of hydroponic growing has done to this tree. A few tips along the way on how to successfully grow a coffee tree indoors in all climates!

My blue containers for the hydroponic setup was bought at felleskjopet.no (only in Norway), but I was able to find the company that makes them here: oipps.co.uk/30-l-plastic-blue...

Beautiful, beautiful plant! Hydroponic growing demonstrates that water per se is not the enemy of plant roots. In 'conventional' growing in solid substrate like soil, peat, compost or coir, drainage becomes a consideration. The horticultural texts advise us to water plants less often during the winter, when the plants are far less photosynthetically active. But, the real consideration is OXYGENATION (aeration). A well-draining potting mix/substrate pulls fresh oxygen-containing air into the tiny gaps and void between the substrate's particles. Plant roots require adequate oxygen; although some plants are more tolerant of low oxygen levels (i.e. flood-tolerant species) than others. Lack of oxygenation in solid substrates like compost, soil, peatmoss or coir favour the growth of fungal and bacterial pathogens, which can attack the living root tissues. In hydroponics, although the roots are constantly subjected to water, oxygen is supplemented by use of an airstone connected to a pump.
This is very true! Everything is about getting the right balance.

I live on a coffee farm and I have to say I am impressed with the size of your coffee tree, 18 months usually doesn't result in coffee trees that large. That or we aren't very good at growing coffee.
It's a sign from the gods! 😆
I was thinking, this morning, that I should try growing a coffee tree. Then you put this one up!
I guess you know what to do now! Hahaha!
That plant is amazing! Really cool flowers. Looking forward to a coffee harvest/roasting video in the future. Coffee grown in Norway!
Thank you so much, buddy! Hopefully It survives long enough to produce beans. Can't wait for it!
If you use a very wide and shallow bucket, with good internal support, you can get it grow much larger, with less hight lost to the bucket. If the bucket is really wide and gets shallower and shallower in the extents, the canopy should follow similar geometry to the roots.
This till give you more biomass above the bucket without compressing hight.
Patent growing coffee under LEDs with algae. Berkley came out with an I.P. for higher yield crops in an indoor setting.
Holly crap! This is awesome!!
I definitely would be interested in a hydro tutorial.
Great! I might do that if I find the time. :-)
Glad to see I am not the only one growing a coffee tree in water finally!! Mine is in a protein jug with no aeration. I top off the water every 3-4 weeks or so, I don't always give it nutrients but I should. Mine is about 18 months and is half the size of yours. I need to transfer it to a new bucket soon before I cannot remote the roots anymore. Nice tree, hope you get berries soon!
That is a beautiful plant! Thank you, Christopher!
Thank you too!
Riktigt roligt att se 👍😊👍
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing and giving inspiration! I'm currently growing an avocado tree with the same success. Thanks again!! Btw, I LOVE Norway!! Absolutely beautiful country!
You are a genius Christopher. My arabica coffee plants are in soil and are doing poorly. If lack of oxygen is a problem I am thinking of adding some peroxide to the water for added oxygen to see if that will help. I’m getting old and even though I worked with electronics and am a ham radio operator I just don’t have the energy to build a system like yours. You sure have a beautiful country, spent time there driving through all the tunnels and you have many. Thank you for all you do.
You’ll kill the beneficial bacteria. Instead of treating the problem. You’re treating the symptoms.
Nice to see you back. Your videos were missed. I would definitely be interested in a hydroponic tutorial by you. Also, I’d love to see how your greenhouse is coming along, warts and all. I’m still considering trying the same in frigid Ontario Canada. I’m wondering if you had freeze-thaw ground settling issues.
Def interested in learning more from a tutorial for this!
I have a couple coffee plants that are growing pretty quickly and I have one that is semi-hydro with LECA that I'd love to switch into something like this setup.
The tree is lush and beautiful 👍
Thank you! :-)
I enjoyed the tour of your greenhouse. Thanks for that. LMAO at your sing-song description of the failed mango. I enjoy your sense of humour. Re: growing corn...perhaps try what we grow here in Ontario’s equally short growing season the Canadian Early Supersweet Hybrid SH2. A lovely tasting corn that is done in about 80-90 days. It stays sweet after picked.
Very nice, I am growing cuttings in Canada of coffee and have several citrus trees that produce under cree lights. No hydro yet but since cannabis became legal in Canada grow light are cheap.
Tack, bra video!
amazing would love to see from sprout setup of the hydroponics/coffee
Hey Christopher, I really love how you've explained. Can you also make a start to end explaination if we were to do it large scale.
Fantastisk
Can you do a video on growing coffee plants in soil or compost indoors please?
Amazing video!! We have a project in Venezuela with an agrobiologist specialized in coffee we wondered about aeroponics and hydroponics coffee cultivation . So we are going to give a try in a small area first with some seedlings . But I have one question....in nature it takes 3 years minimum to get the first production of beans , have you got flowering yet ? How old is your coffee plant ?
Im thinking that it might be a good idea for you to meet Eduardo in social media ....he could actually help you a lot with the plant
Appologies for the inaneness of this question - have you harvested beans yet? Any good? XxxX (Soon will attempt to grow one of these in The Netherlands as I'm ex Zimbabwean and really keen to try tropical plants again and this country is tops at exporting tropical plants!) Really glad to see you back again!!!
Hi! No harvest yet, but hopefully this year. Cool! You need to get back into the tropical plants yes! :-)
Overall tutorial would be amazing.
Specifically, How did you manage removing the coffee plant from the soil initially?
Are they hardy against changing media, or did you have to baby it at all?
It is nice video. Can you share more about this coffee tree , like roots picture . Appreciate
I currently do not have the coffee, but I will grow one even larger when I'm finished rebuilding the growroom.
Very fun video, your descriptions are quite good! I might have missed it, do you know how much a single tree would produce for Beans? I wonder how many of these you'd need to supply your coffee needs
To be hones I have no idea. Have yet to have a large crop.
That is a beautiful coffee tree 👍
What variety of coffee is it or where do you get it?
Do you recreate a summer season in your coffee trees?
I know that a coffee tree needs a summer season and has a period of stress due to lack of nutrients and water and then enter to recover and make it bloom
can you try the cirtrus
What do you do for humidity? Do you just spray the plant a few times a day? Coffee needs about 60-70% humidity right?
Do you think something like this can be scaled up?
Hi Chris, what type of the coffee, robusta or arabica? How about the temperature?
How many hours is the lights on each day? The plant looks amazing.
12 on, 12 off
Any updates? Coffee beans yet?
Beautiful plant, would you please tell me that how to grow ginger?
Thank you! Ginger needs well drained and warm soil and a lot of light. :-)
@@ChristopherBrandsdal Thanks a lot Christopher
NPK
mine died
I'm as lost on the topic as when I started , maybe I'm just an idoit
