About This Botanical
Arabica Coffee
An indoor coffee plant with glossy, dark leaves. It is a medium-light plant that rewards steady, even care.
How to care for Arabica Coffee
- Light: bright, indirect light near a window, away from harsh direct sun. Medium light maintains it; it will not grow vigorously in low light.
- Water: keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Frequent, light watering works better than occasional soaking. Wilting means it is thirsty; black spots on the leaves can mean overwatering.
- Humidity and temperature: coffee does well in humid conditions, around 59 to 75°F. Protect it from freezing and drafts.
- Pot and soil: use a pot only moderately larger than the root ball, and a mix that drains well.
