The coffee plant (Coffea Arabica) is one of the most attractive houseplants, popular not only for its dark green, glossy, leathery leaves, but also for the unique experience of having a small coffee tree at home.
Light: It needs bright but indirect light. Direct sunlight (especially in the summer midday) will burn the edges of its leaves, but in low light, its growth will stop and the leaves will turn yellow.
Watering: It likes to stay slightly moist at all times, but not waterlogged. It is time to water when the surface of the pot’s soil begins to dry out (the soil should not dry out completely like succulents). Use water without salts (such as filtered or cooled boiled water) to prevent the tips of the leaves from turning brown.
Humidity: It loves humidity. If the air in your home is dry (especially with heating appliances), be sure to provide it with the humidity it needs by misting or creating an “island” under the pot.
Temperature: 18 to 25 degrees Celsius is perfect for it. It is very sensitive to cold drafts and sudden changes in temperature.
Appearance: Its leaves are elongated, very shiny and wavy, arranged in a certain order on the stem. If the plant reaches maturity (usually after a few years and in excellent light conditions), it produces small, very fragrant white flowers, after which coffee beans appear (although you should not expect a large crop in a pot).
Toxicity: This plant is toxic to pets (cats and dogs). Ingesting the leaves can cause digestive or nervous problems. It is not toxic to humans, but it should be kept out of the reach of children and animals.
Golden tip: Coffee likes “acidic soil”. Using fertilizers for acid-loving plants from time to time can ensure the freshness and brilliance of the leaves.
