About this plant

The coffee plant makes a handsome houseplant in its own right, with glossy, wavy, deep green leaves on a bushy little shrub. It is a fun conversation piece for any plant lover, and it fits a bright kitchen or sunroom.

Give it bright, indirect light and keep the soil evenly moist, never soggy. It enjoys humidity and warmth, and it can spend the summer outdoors in a sheltered spot once nights are warm, coming back in before the weather cools.

Be patient for flowers. A mature plant in good light can produce fragrant white blooms followed by red berries, but that takes years. Until then, enjoy the foliage. Choose a 3, 4 or 6 inch pot.

From November to April, we recommend adding Winter Plant Shipping Protection (a heat pack) at checkout. Plants shipped in cold weather without it are not covered for cold damage.
