About Arabian Coffee Plant
Perhaps one of the world's favorite plants, the Arabian Coffee plant produces the beans known as Arabica. Coffee is produced from the fruits which appear after their fragrant, white flowers are pollinated. The fruits must be fermented and then roasted before they are ground, a process that's been around since the 1400s! Did you know the darker the roast, the less caffeine your cup of coffee has? ☕️
Taxonomy

How to fertilize Arabian Coffee Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Arabian Coffee Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Repot? Or leave it be? My #ArabianCoffeePlant is living her best life. She just keeps getting bigger and shinier now that I’ve got her under her own grow light. That being said, when is a good time for a new pot? She’s got some little babies growing under her bigger leaves that seem to be struggling to get light. I’d love for it to get even bigger. 🥰 When do you think is a good time for new digs? #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #CoffeePlant #lookatthoseleaves #adviceplease #RepotSeason

A couple leaves have large brown spots. Is it getting too much sun? #CoffeePlant

The plant identifier on this app had identified this plant as a coffee plant. However, when I lookup other coffee plants mine does not really look like them. Does anyone know what she is? #CoffeePlant #PlantID

What plant is this? The app said this was an Arabian Coffee plant. I got an assorted plant box today and I've never had one of these. Does anyone know if this is what this plant actually is?

My coffee plant is less than perfectly happy. Somewhat recently repotted but otherwise should be unstressed in its usual spot under a 12-hour grow light. Any advice?! #CoffeePlant #ArabianCoffeePlant #help

Pests on Coffee Plant? I've had this coffee plant for a couple months and noticed what I think are pests on it. I'm not sure what they are or how to get rid of them without hurting the plant but they are slowly multiplying, as pests do 🪲 Any tips on pest identification and how to get rid of them? #PestControl

Help! My coffee plant is yellow 😭 One of my favorite plants has yellowing leaves and brown freckles/spots on many of its leaves. This has been progressing for awhile now but I continue to get new growth. I have checked it for root rot and replanted it in new soil, and gave it some fertilizer, but it continues to deteriorate. Any advice or suggestions? #CoffeePlant #coffeaArabica

I just adopted this plant #NewPlantMom I’m going to put it in a bigger pot. #help should I remove the leaves that look brown first? #NewPlants

#ToJobeOrNotToJobe #ToJobeOrNotToJobe ???? That is the question 🙋🏾♀️🤣Actually no, the question is: is it food or fertilizer… or both and is it good for philodendron and coffee arabica?
-
To separate or not to separate? I just got this coffee plant and there’s a bunch of stems coming from the ground. I see in various pictures that some people have a single plant in a pot, and other have several. What is best for the plant to thrive? Of course it lookes much nicer when is bushy 🙃 #CoffeePlant #arabicacoffeeplants #coffeecupplants

It’s probably just my poor plant, but he’s been through it. He’ll get these gorgeous lush leaves and then they brown right away.

This plant grows fairly quickly but is kind of picky and doesn’t like tap water. I started exclusively using rain or distilled water with this plant and it resolved the leaf browning quickly

This plant is such a brat. Too much sun, too little sun. Too much water, too little water. Ugh. The leaves are pretty when healthy though.

This guy has been growing extremely fast! Since they love humidity so much I mist the plant twice a week and it seems to love it! It will also 100% let you know when it need water.

Arabian coffee plants are not pet friendly, as they contain saponins
