You will have to grow it like house plant..either in heated GH or in a house.

Hi Ruud  :) wow 16 coffee plants well done you  :)

I've got one coffee plant grown from seed. It has spent the last 2 summers in the greenhouse which it seemed to like and overwinter in the house. It looks ok but not growing very fast, I think it perhaps needs a bit more warmth than it gets from me. I remember reading an intresting article about growing them I'll see if I can find it.
