Coffee Plant

Coffea arabica originates from the high-altitude regions of Ethiopia, where it grew under the dappled shade of forest canopies. It is responsible for the vast majority of the world's premium coffee consumption. Brought indoors, it transitions beautifully into a hardy houseplant. While it thrives on moisture and bright light to replicate its native cloud-forest environment, it has evolved into a highly adaptable companion for indoor gardeners across Canada.

The secret to a thriving Coffee Plant is keeping its soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Follow these tips to help it flourish:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning sun will boost growth, but avoid scorching afternoon rays.
• Water: Water thoroughly as soon as the top inch of soil feels dry. Coffee plants will dramatic drop or droop their leaves to let you know they are thirsty!
• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Misting periodically or using a pebble tray helps keep the leaf tips pristine during dry Canadian winters.
• Soil: A rich, peat-based potting mix with plenty of perlite ensures excellent drainage while retaining the essential moisture it craves.
• Temperature: Prefers stable indoor conditions between 18°C and 24°C. Keep it safely away from chilly drafts and drying heating vents.
