Coffee Plant:

Plant Bio

Coffea arabica is a beautiful, glossy-leaved evergreen shrub that produces the world's most popular coffee beans. Native to tropical regions, this plant thrives in warm, humid climates and can be grown indoors as an ornamental plant. Over time, it develops small white flowers with a delightful fragrance, followed by red coffee cherries, which contain the beans used for brewing coffee. With proper care, Coffea arabica can be a rewarding houseplant, offering both lush greenery and the potential for homegrown coffee beans.

Plant Care.

Water

• Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays evenly moist but not soggy.

• Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out before watering again.

• If leaf edges turn brown, the plant may be drying out—adjust watering accordingly.

• Water in the morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler.

Sunlight

• Prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some direct morning sun.

• Too much harsh sunlight can scorch the leaves, while low light may slow growth.

• Best placement: near east-facing or south-facing windows with filtered light.

Ambient

• Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C.

• Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

• Thrives in high humidity, so mist the leaves twice a week or use a humidifier.

Nutrients

• Apply balanced liquid fertilizer once every 15 days during the growing season.

• Choose a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium to support healthy leaf growth.

• Avoid excessive fertilization, as too many nutrients can cause salt buildup in the soil.
