Product information
Meet Coffea Arabica, the Arabian Coffee plant! While it’s unlikely to produce a crop of coffee beans in your home, you can enjoy this plant for its dark, deeply corrugated leaves and dense, bushy habit. Easy to grow Coffea Arabica makes a handsome house plant and a great talking point. In spring, it may produce sweetly scented white flowers. Coffea enjoys a warm and humid atmosphere in a bright position but away from direct sun. Height: 120cm (48”). Spread: 100cm (39”).Sow at any time of year at 21-24C (70-75F), though best in spring to make most of the light levels. Soak seed for 48 hours prior to sowing. Set seed on the surface of compost and gently firm down. Seal in a polythene bag if no propagator is available. Do not exclude light as this aids germination, which can be erratic but usually takes 42-56 days. Aim to keep damp but not overly wet.When large enough to handle, transplant several seedlings per 10cm (4”) pot, filled with multipurpose compost. Position in a warm room away from cold draughts and radiators, aiming for a constant temperature of 16°C (60°F). Coffee plants prefer a bright spot out of direct sunlight. Can also be grown in a warm greenhouse.Please note: some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.Product specifications:Position: Sun or Semi Shade or Dappled ShadeHeight: Up to 120cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 100cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x Arabian Coffee Plant seed packet (approx. 30 seeds)Flowering period – April to MayImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
