Plant Care

Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some gentle morning/evening sun, but avoid harsh direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water Requirements: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Coffee plants don't like completely drying out for long periods of time.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in fall/winter.

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix. A quality indoor potting soil mixed with perlite and/or orchid bark works well.

Temperature: Prefers 65-85 degrees. Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, and temperatures below about 55 degrees.

Pet Safety: Toxic
