Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper coffee plant care is essential for a thriving plant and a good harvest of Arabica coffee beans. This evergreen plant is relatively low maintenance but appreciates consistent attention to its specific needs. For optimal growth, provide bright, indirect light. Direct, harsh sunlight can scorch the leaves, especially when grown indoors. If placed outdoors, choose a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, or dappled light throughout the day. An east-facing window is ideal for indoor plants. The plant prefers consistently moist soil but not waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and ensure the pot has good drainage. Reduce watering slightly in winter months when growth slows.

The ideal soil for your Arabica coffee live plant is a rich, well-draining potting mix with a slightly acidic pH (around 6.0-6.5). A mix designed for acid-loving plants or a general potting mix amended with peat moss works well. Coffee plants are tropical and prefer warm temperatures, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). They also appreciate high humidity. If growing indoors, consider using a pebble tray or a humidifier, especially during dry winter months. Protect the plant from temperatures below 30°F (-1°C). Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Common issues include yellowing leaves from overwatering or nutrient deficiencies, and brown leaf tips from low humidity. Regular inspection for pests like spider mites or mealybugs is also part of good coffee plant care.
