Arabian Coffee Starter Plant – Coffea arabica Tropical Coffee Plant

Arabian Coffee (Coffea arabica) is a beautiful tropical plant known for its glossy green foliage and, once mature under the right conditions, fragrant white flowers followed by coffee cherries. Each starter plant is grown with care at Sweet Martha’s Family Farmacy in Alabama.

Arabian Coffee makes an attractive container or houseplant and gives coffee lovers the opportunity to grow the plant behind their favorite cup. Grow it outdoors in suitable warm conditions or keep it in a container that can be brought indoors when temperatures cool.

Why Grow Arabian Coffee?

Arabian Coffee is a distinctive choice for coffee lovers and plant growers who want to experience the coffee plant beyond the finished bean. Its glossy evergreen foliage also makes it attractive enough to grow simply as a tropical container or indoor plant.

Uses & Harvest

Arabian Coffee can be grown as an ornamental tropical plant or, with maturity and suitable growing conditions, for its coffee cherries. Mature plants may flower and produce cherries containing the seeds commonly known as coffee beans. Fruiting takes time and depends on plant maturity, light, temperature, and overall growing conditions.
