Customer Reviews
Hasn’t grown much since arriving but admittedly our cat found it very delish! Lol
It has responded well to the ‘trimming’ still about the same size as the day it arrived but looks happy
It’s green and looks happy
I’m very pleased with my coffee plant! It arrived lovingly packed, and it wasn’t phased at all by being mailed! I can’t wait for it to bear fruit, even though it will be a few years. This little plant has gorgeous foliage, it brings me joy to look at it every day.
I ordered 2 of the coffee plants and when I got them they were better than I had expected. Both were healthy and well rooted plants. I have not killed either one which is great for me. I am looking forward to seeing them bloom when they mature.
packing & shipping were not good , poorly packed and box was taped up w apology note from USPS, I gave plants quick TLC and all have survived and are looking good, I'm happy w them & think they'll be beautiful plants

Initial Instructions
After unpacking your plant, allow a few days for it to gradually acclimate to full light exposure. If planting directly into the ground, choose a location with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. For a container-grown plant re-pot it into a 6-8 inch diameter pot in standard potting soil. The plant will require re-potting to a larger container as it grows. Up-pot when the plant appears root bound or when large roots push out the drainage holes. Finished container size should be approximately 5-8 gallons if the plant is maintained at 2-4 feet.
Cultivation
Water regularly during the growing season and less during the winter. Coffee plants require a 2-3 month period of drier conditions to produce flowers and berries. Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a well-balanced fertilizer.
Size at Maturity
10-12 feet or taller under optimal conditions, but normally maintained at 2-4 feet.
Spacing
5-15 feet depending on overall height of plant.
Pollination
Coffee plants are self-fertile.
Pests & Diseases
Fusarium if the plants suffer from frost damage.
Soil Type
Moist (not soggy), well drained, mildly acidic.
Light Requirements
Filtered sun outdoors, or bright light indoors.
Hardiness
Coffee plants are hardy to 28ºF, but we recommend bringing the plant indoors when temperatures dip below 40ºF.
Bloom Time
Mid-spring
Yield
Variable depending on plant size.
