Coffea richardii is a tropical shrub native to Madagascar. It can be propagated from seed, cuttings, or air layering. The seeds should be sown in a well-draining soil mix and kept moist until germination. Cuttings should be taken from healthy, mature plants and rooted in a moist, well-draining soil mix. Air layering is a method of propagation in which a branch is partially girdled and then wrapped in a moist medium such as sphagnum moss, which will eventually form roots.
