Also known as: Arabian Coffee, Coffee Tree, Arabica Coffee Plant

Coffee Plant is a beautiful tropical houseplant known for its glossy, deep green leaves and graceful, upright growth. Native to the highland forests of Ethiopia, this is the same plant that produces the coffee beans used around the world. As it matures, it can produce small, fragrant white flowers followed by red coffee cherries, each containing coffee beans inside. Even without fruit, its lush foliage makes it a standout choice for living rooms, offices, sunrooms, and bright indoor spaces.

plant tips

  • water

    Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy — water when the top inch of soil feels dry. This plant loves humidity, so mist leaves occasionally or place near a humidifier for best results.

  • light

    Thrives in bright indirect light — an east-facing window is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch the leaves and cause brown spots.

  • zone

    Houseplant.

  • mature size

    Approx. 36" W × 72" H

care

Place in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect light and keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and mist leaves occasionally to boost humidity. Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Prune lightly in spring to encourage a fuller, bushier shape and keep the plant at a manageable size indoors.
