Arabica Coffee Seeds Coffea arabica Catuai 10 pcs Highly Productive Coffee Variety for Home Cultivation in Apartments and Conservatories
Coffea arabica 'Catuai' is a popular Brazilian variety that has established itself across the coffee world due to its high productivity and compact growth. This expanded pack of 10 seeds is suitable for growers who wish to attempt raising several coffee plants for growth comparison or simply to increase the chance of successful germination of this popular coffee variant. The variety was developed at the Brazilian IAC institute in São Paulo in the 1960s and has since spread to many coffee-significant countries in Latin America.
Young seedlings grow relatively quickly and gradually form compact trees with strong branches and typical coffee plant leaves. The dense dark green crown gives the plant an attractive appearance that suits both modern interiors and traditional conservatories. The terminal branches gradually grow even in indoor conditions at a rate of about 20 to 30 cm per year. A characteristic feature of Catuai is its distinctly dense foliage – the internodes are short, making the tree appear robust even at a younger age.
Growing from seeds occurs similarly to other arabicas. Before sowing, the seeds should be soaked in lukewarm water for 24 to 48 hours to soften the hard shell. They are sown flat into quality substrate with low acidity and maintained at a temperature of 26 to 30 °C with high humidity. Germination usually takes 6 to 10 weeks. After germination, the seedlings are very sensitive to direct sunlight and require partial shade, gradual acclimatisation, and stable substrate moisture.

Contents of the package:
- 10 pcs of Coffea arabica 'Catuai' seeds
From ten Catuai seeds, several individual trees can be successfully raised for various places in the home – kitchen, living room, conservatory, or balcony in the summer. This variety is also popular among novice growers as it forgives some care mistakes and tolerates less than ideal conditions better than classic variants. The home café experience begins even in the phase of watching the germination and gradual growth of the young plant. For successful long-term growth, it is advisable to maintain a resting period in winter with a temperature around 13 to 16 °C and limited watering, then in spring and summer, regularly fertilise the plant with coffee plant fertiliser or universal liquid fertiliser for houseplants.
