Coffee Plant

Light 

• Bright, Indirect Light: Coffee plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. They can tolerate low light but will grow more slowly and may not produce flowers or beans.

Temperature

• Ideal Range: 60–70°F. Coffee plants prefer warm, humid environments, and they are sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

Watering

•  Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.

• Avoid Waterlogging: Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Coffee plants do not like their roots to sit in water.

Fertilizing

• Feed your coffee plant every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.

• Reduced Feeding in Winter: During fall and winter, reduce or stop fertilizing as the plant’s growth slows down.

Flowering and Fruit Production

• Flowering: Coffee plants typically flower after 3-4 years of growth, and only under optimal conditions. The flowers are small, white, and fragrant.

• Fruiting: The plant can bear fruit (coffee cherries), but it may take several years to get to that stage, especially when grown indoors. Each coffee cherry contains two seeds (coffee beans), but indoor plants rarely produce cherries unless they’re in a very large container or have been grown in optimal conditions for years.
