Arabica Coffee Plant

Arabica Coffee Plant

The Arabica Coffee Plant, scientifically known as Coffea arabica, is a beautiful and fascinating houseplant admired for its glossy, dark green leaves and compact growth habit. While most recognized as the source of the world’s most popular coffee beans, it also makes an attractive ornamental plant indoors. With proper care, this plant can grow into a lush, bushy specimen that brings a touch of the tropics to your home.

When mature and grown under the right conditions, Arabica Coffee Plants may produce fragrant white star-shaped flowers, followed by green berries that ripen to a bright red. Inside these berries are the seeds that become coffee beans once harvested, dried, and roasted. While growing coffee indoors is more for novelty than for significant harvests, it can be a rewarding experience for coffee enthusiasts and plant lovers alike.

Its upright, tidy form makes it a perfect accent for bright living spaces or offices. Easy to care for with a little attention to humidity and watering, the Arabica Coffee Plant provides both ornamental beauty and the fun possibility of producing your very own coffee beans.

Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves.
Soil Needs: Prefers a rich, well-draining potting mix with peat, perlite, and organic matter.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; water when the top inch of soil begins to dry.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity; mist regularly or place near a humidifier for best growth.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Trim back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth and remove damaged leaves.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years in spring when roots outgrow the pot.

Please note: This plant comes in its grower’s nursery pot, ready for you to place in your favorite decorative pot at home. The pot in the picture is not included.
