Coffee does sound interesting. I don't drink coffee myself, all that much, but i'd give them a go.
Would they do them in Aldi as well?

The offers are usually similar with Aldi and Lidl Jason. I've subscribed to the Lidl newsletter to keep up with the gardening offers.Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

That's OK, because you won't get a crop from the coffee plants, just an interesting houseplant.Originally posted by Jason Cartwright View PostAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

Read up, a little, on these and they take 4 years to produce.
Also been looking at the dwarf coffee plants.

oooh i might pop in and get some of those growbags - has anyone had them from lidl before?Comment

Um, because you need a climate like what they have in Kenya, Ethiopia etc (subtropical, with altitude).Originally posted by Jason Cartwright View Post

I think it's more than a bit cynical of UK shops to be selling these plants without full information, imoAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

The coffee plants are beautiful in their own right. Even if you get beans, aren't they similar to cocoa beans and take a rather high rate of processing to get a useful crop out of them, don't they? Not sure - I think they're really pretty

Never tried myself, but one option is to grow them under lights. There's quite a few videos on YouTube with people growing plants under CFL bulbs like citrus, pineapples, coffee, etc even cocoa, mango and jackfruit (though I doubt those will fruit without being huge).Originally posted by Two_Sheds View PostComment
