Arabica Coffee
A Lush Green Companion for Any Space
The Arabica Coffee Plant, known for its deep green, naturally glossy leaves, adds a burst of tropical charm to any room. Whether placed on a sunny kitchen shelf or nestled into a cozy reading nook, its vibrant foliage brings life and warmth indoors. With the right care, this compact shrub can grow into a full-bodied indoor tree, becoming a signature feature in your home.
What Makes the Coffee Plant Special?
This plant doesn't just look good-it's got hidden talents. The Arabica Coffee Plant is self-pollinating and can produce fragrant, star-shaped white flowers with a subtle vanilla scent. On rare occasions, those flowers can even yield real coffee beans. While it's unlikely to supply your morning brew, the novelty of growing your own beans is still a fun perk.
