Coffee Plant Care Guide

Placement

The Coffee Plant will do well a spot that gets a medium amount of natural light. Overly bright, sunny, or warm windows should be avoided. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth.

Light Requirements

The Coffee Plant prefers bright, indirect light. Never place the plant in direct sun, as the rays can scorch the leaves.

Watering Needs

Water when the top inch of soil is dry. When watering, water the plant moderately and slowly from above, allowing water to soak through to the roots, then tip out any excess water. Water evenly so that the soil is damp, not soggy. The Coffee Plant will start to droop when she's ready for a watering. Clean the leaves by wiping them down with a damp cloth.

Temperature Preferences

Does well at or slightly warmer than room temperature (between 60°F - 77°F). Cold temperatures or rooms with strong drafts should be avoided.

Humidity Tolerance

Prefers higher levels of humidity, around 75% or above. If the air around the plant is too dry, use a humidifier or occasionally mist the plant to increase humidity.

Repotting Needs

The plant can live happily in the provided pot for up to a year. Check if the plant is ready to be repotted by touching the soil and seeing if it has become loose, or if the roots have become overgrown. Repot using a rich, well-draining soil. When your plant is ready to be repotted, you can follow our simple how-to guide.

Unhealthy Plant Signs

It's important to know that falling leaves are totally normal for the Coffee Plant. When you notice that she's losing leaves you should simply remove them from the soil to promote circulation. Brownish leaves may be a sign of too much sun.
