Coffee Plant & Mug

Coffee Plant (Coffea arabica), an elegant and charming houseplant, is beloved for its glossy, deep green leaves and ability to produce fragrant white flowers and, eventually, coffee beans. While it can take a few years for a Coffee Plant to bear fruit, its lush foliage adds a touch of the tropics to any home.

Hardiness:

• Indoor Hardiness: Adapts well to indoor environments.
• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light, but growth may slow. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil. A mix of peat, sand, and perlite works well.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in the winter.
• Pruning: Regularly remove yellow or damaged leaves to maintain its health and shape.
• Feeding: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50-80%). Misting or placing near a humidifier will help in drier conditions.

The Coffee Plant is an attractive and rewarding houseplant, providing a lush, green aesthetic while offering the potential to produce homegrown coffee beans in the future.
