Bring Home a Living Legend: The Arabica Coffee Tree

Welcome the Arabica Coffee Tree, a captivating addition to your plant collection. With its glossy green leaves and the potential to produce delicate white flowers and colorful cherries, this plant is both a beauty and a piece of botanical history.

Botanical Name: Coffea arabica

Common Names: Arabian Coffee, Mountain Coffee

Originating from the ancient lands of Yemen in the 12th century, the Arabica Coffee Tree now enjoys a global presence—and it’s ready to thrive in your home too. This low-maintenance marvel prefers bright indirect light and will reward you with lush growth, potentially reaching up to 15 feet indoors when conditions are just right.

Arabica Coffee Tree Care Instructions:

• Light: Place your plant in a cozy spot with bright, indirect light. It loves a few hours of morning sun but avoids the harsh midday rays.
• Temperature: Keep it comfy between 60°F and 75°F (16°C to 24°C). Drafts and radiators are a no-go.
• Water: Consistency is key—water when the top inch of soil is dry. Too much, and the leaves turn yellow; too little, and they crisp up.
• Humidity: Keep the air moist by misting the leaves or using a humidifier. Bonus points for grouping it with other plants to create a mini rainforest.
• Soil: Opt for a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-6.5) keeps it happy.
• Fertilizer: Feed every two weeks during the growing season with a liquid fertilizer. Coffee grounds can also be a delightful treat for the soil.
• Repotting: Refresh its home every year or two to ensure continued growth.

But wait, there's more! The Arabica Coffee Tree can produce actual coffee beans if grown large enough. Imagine sipping a morning brew from your very own plant—how’s that for impressing your friends?

Do note, parts of the Arabica Coffee Tree can be a bit mischievous, posing a danger to children and pets if ingested. So, give it a prominent but safe spot to shine.

Revel in the joy of nurturing an Arabica Coffee Tree and let its charm elevate your home decor game.
