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? ☕️

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.

Is this normal for an Arabian Coffee Plant? The leaves look odd … should I prune the crinkly looking ones? Newer leaves look super healthy … #ArabianCoffeePlant

Please help! I’ve had my coffee plant for almost a year. Once winter came she started turning brown at tips, I’ve tried an artificial light lamp, humidifier, but she seems to be at her end and idk what to do anymore. She keeps getting worse.

My coffee plant is growing well but most of it leaves have dark brown areas which do not appear dry or abnormal. Is this how it should look or am I missing something. Thank you for your help!😎 #CoffeePlant

Does she just hate her environment? I just picked up this #arabiancoffeeplant 3 days ago. She was stunning when I brought her home, and I thought she was acclimating well since she's grouped with my more established ladies in my dining room window and was looking great over the weekend. But when I checked on her this morning, she's looking like a deflated Macy's Day Parade balloon! Can I get #help from the #greggang figuring out why? I'm suspecting it might be a humidity issue

My plant is drying out I've been watering it but thinking its not getting enough sunlight? #CoffeePlant

hello! I need help! her leaves started wilting a bit. Could it be overwatering or where I have her on the wall?? #CoffeePlant

When they droop like this, does it need water? It seems to droop before the app tells me it's time to water. #CoffeePlant

Help with identification Hey all, I recently got this beautifully lush green plant (looks like actually up to 8 plants all potted together) shipped to me. I didn’t realize it was going to be a random. Greg and PlantNet are telling me it’s a coffee arabica , interesting! iNaturalist says it’s class magnoliopsida? Any ideas from you all? #WhatPlantIsThis #identify #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #help #nadiabynature

The tips of the leaves of my arabica coffee plant have gone a light brown and crispy what does this mean #CoffeePlant

Yellow spots on coffee plant? I’m noticing my coffee plant starting to have yellow spots on medium newer leaves. And it’s also been dropping old leaves. It is fruiting right now and beans are ripening. But I’m not sure if the symptoms is a normal behavior during this process. I would appreciate if someone is more familiar with this symptom and can share what I can do thanks!

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
